FIVE students at a technical school in south China's Hainan Province were injured after a knife attack in their dormitory by strangers early this morning.

Two students are being treated at the local Qiongshan hospital and three more seriously injured have been transferred to Haikou People's Hospital in the island province's capital Haikou, Hinews.cn, the Website of Hainan Daily Group, reported today.

The Website cited witnesses saying about five men stormed into the dormitory around 2:30am and attacked anyone they met.

Five of the nine students in the room were injured, including two seriously.

Students in neighboring rooms called police, who arrived the scene half an hour later and sent the victims to hospital.

A student in Room 2403 told the Website that they did not know the attackers. But some students quarreled with other people earlier that night when dining off the campus, he noted.

The attackers rushed to the dormitory's guard room after the attack and smashed the security system while threatening the guards with knives, according to Hinews.cn.
