The attack took place as the children were being led back to class after their morning exercise. The 39-year-old assailant, surnamed Liu according to local police, was apprehended by the kindergarten teachers and security guard and reportedly beaten by parents.
She is believed to have told police she was mistreated by the Chinese government, and it is unknown why she targeted these children.
A crowd of police officers, parents and children can also be seen outside the kindergarten in the videos that emerged after the incident.
