Police are investigating a case in which a three-year-old girl was shot with a poisonous needle in Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province, Southern Metropolis Daily reported today.

The girl, Xiaoman, was shot when her father, surnamed Cai, was driving his wife and two children home on a moped on June 29. Three minutes after being hit by the needle, the girl lost consciousness, the report said.

Xiaoman regained consciousness after emergency treatment, according to the associate director of the pediatrics department at Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University.

The toxic material in the needle proved to be succinylcholine, a short-acting depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent. It is used as a muscle relaxant.

A blood sample has been passed to Southern Medical University for further testing, the report said.

Police are still looking for the perpetrator, Southern Metropolis said.
