Beijing:  A man wounded 11 children with a blade at their kindergarten school on Wednesday in China's southern region of Guangxi, said media, in the country's latest mass knifing incident.

Compared to many other countries, violence crime is rare in China. But there has been a series of knife and axe attacks in recent years, many targeting children.

China Central Television said in a post on its official micro-blog that a man climbed the wall of the kindergarten school in the city of Pingxiang and attacked the students.

All of the wounded children had been sent to the hospital but their injuries were not life-threatening, CCTV said.

It said the suspect had been detained by police and the incident was being investigated, but did not give his full name.
