Summary

A white SUV was driven into a crowd outside Yong’an Primary School in Hunan, China, injuring several students and adults.

Parents and bystanders subdued the driver, who was handed to police.

While no life-threatening injuries were reported, this is the third crowd attack in China this week, raising alarms about public safety.

The incidents have ignited online discussions about the growing trend of “taking revenge on society,” where individuals target strangers in response to personal grievances.
