Chinese police say eight people have been killed and 17 others injured in a stabbing attack at a vocational school in the eastern Chinese city of Wuxi.

Earlier this week, a 62-year-old man killed 35 people and wounded more than 40 more when he rammed his small SUV into a crowd in the southern city of Zhuhai. The suspect was discovered in the car with a knife, with wounds to his neck thought to be self-harm injuries, according to the police.

A former student allegedly used a knife to attack dozens of students at a college in Yixing, China, and cause eight deaths and wound 17 others Saturday evening.

The suspect, 21, dissatisfied that he failed his exams and did not receive his graduation certificate, went on a rampage at his former school.

Police say a 21-year-old student went on a stabbing rampage in China's eastern city of Yixing, leaving at least 8 people dead and 17 wounded.
