    Only one person was involved in a knife attack at a railway station in the southern Chinese metropolis of Guangzhou on Tuesday morning, local police said.

    The male suspect carrying a long knife was shot by police and is being treated in hospital, the Guangzhou municipal public security bureau said in a statement.

    The suspect was not carrying any identity card and his identity is yet to be confirmed. Six people were injured in the attack in Guangzhou railway station square at about 11:30 am.
