Kunming knife attack: Deadly rampage in Chinese train station leaves 30 dead, more than 130 injured
Kunming knife attack: Deadly rampage in Chinese train station leaves 30 dead, more than 130 injured
  • Order:
  • Duration: 1:34
  • Updated: 04 Mar 2014
A mass knife attack at a train station in the southwestern Chinese city of Kunming left more than 30 dead and over 130 injured. A group of assailants, dressed in black and wielding large knives and machetes attacked people at random a train station in the southwestern Chinese city of Kunming late on Saturday. Police shot dead five of the attackers and authorities are actively hunting down the remaining assailants. The black-clad attackers, covered their faces with masks and stormed the crowded train station at 9:20 pm. A witness said she heard people around her shouting "they are hacking people" and along with others ran into the train station seeking shelter. She next saw a tall man donning a mask and wielding a machete, lashing out indiscriminately. According to another witness account, police initially ineffectively fired teargas at the assailants, before eventually firing at them. Officials called the assault well-planned and blamed Xinjiang separatists for the deadly attack at the train station. State media even went as far as to call the act China's "911" and resolutely called for a crackdown on terrorism. Chinese president Xi Jinping has called for "all-out efforts" to bring to justice those involved in the attack. Local police have set up checkpoints along every route out of the city to ensure suspects are unable to escape. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Welcome to TomoNews, where we animate the most entertaining news on the internets.

The American actor Richard Kiel has died in hospital after breaking his leg, although doctors are not connecting the accident with his death.
