Police said the 20-year-old student, surnamed Wang, had rushed into a classroom at the university yesterday afternoon brandishing a dagger.

Three of the injured are in a serious condition in hospital while the other two were slightly injured.

Police received an emergency call at 3:17pm about a fight in which a number of people had been injured at the university鈥檚 Haiyuan College.

A nearby patrol rushed to the scene and, with the help of security guards, subdued the alleged attacker.
