Xinhua and Global Times report that there's been yet another stabbing spree mirroring the incident that took place near Joy City last week as well as an incident in May in which a knife-wielding assailant stabbed two people to death near Guangqumen and died himself from injuries.

According to the Global Times report a "knife-wielding man allegedly injured four people, including two children" and Xinhua says the suspect is a Beijing local "surnamed Wang" who was born in 1963.

Beijing has enjoyed a reputation of being relatively safe for a city of its size, but with reports of attacks, assaults and bombings on the rise this notion is quickly being dispelled. Be careful out there.
