A THIRD victim — a baby — died today of her wounds and a suspect was detained in a bloody knife attack yesterday in a bus in which 15 people were stabbed in Anyang, a city in central Henan Province.

Two victims, a 10-year-old boy and a man, 18, died en route to the hospital yesterday. The 10-month-old girl died in the hospital this morning.

Authorities are trying to identify the suspect with DNA analysis following his capture today, CCTV news reported.

The attack happened as the assailant was robbing the bus at about 3:05pm yesterday when there were 33 passengers aboard, en route to Beiguo Township.

Among the injured, the oldest was 67 and the youngest was an 18-year-old woman who had just received her letter of admission to university, Henan news broadcasts reported.

More than 400 police officers were mobilized to hunt for the suspect yesterday. Anyang police yesterday offered a 100,000 yuan (US$16,000) award for tips leading to the seizure of the suspect.

Witnesses had described the attacker as about 1.65 meters tall, with a crew cut and around 27 years old.
