POLICE forces across China have been ordered to step up security at kindergartens and schools after a spate of attacks against children.
An emergency circular issued by the Ministry of Public Security also called for harsh punishments for criminals who attacked school children.
It ordered all necessary measures be taken against school attackers in accordance with the law to stop a crime in progress.
The circular ordered stronger security patrols in and around school campuses at the beginning and the end of school days, and in schools in risk-prone communities.
On Friday, five children and a teacher were injured when a man attacked them with a hammer before killing himself in Weifang City in east China's Shandong Province.
On Thursday, 29 children and three adults were injured by a man armed with knife at the Zhongxin Kindergarten in Taixing City, in eastern Jiangsu Province.
And 16 children and a teacher at a primary school in Guangdong Province were attacked on Wednesday.
