A FACTORY worker slashed six women with a cleaver before he jumped to his death from a three-story building in south China's Foshan City.
The 20-year old man surnamed Xie appeared at a market in Nanhai District about 7pm yesterday, hacking six young women as he walked along the street, Guangzhou Daily reported today.
Five victims are in hospital with two in a critical condition. A witness said Xie picked only pretty young women as his target and slashed each of them once before he moved on to the next victim, the report said.
The worst injured was a woman surnamed Wu. The attacker chopped her on the neck and she was still in a coma. Others were injured either in the neck or the shoulder.
The sixth victim, a 20-year old shop owner surnamed Chen, said she heard a commotion in the crowd and the woman next to her fell to the ground with blood pouring from her neck.
That gave her time to raise an arm to stop the attacker's knife thrust, she said.
Chen said she saw the knifeman run out of the market and into a building before jumping from the top floor.
Another witness said the man was well dressed but shouting as he ran down the street.
Police said they were still investigating.
