BEIJING — Panic ensued after a vehicle drove into a busy public square Wednesday night in south central China, killing at least nine people and injuring dozens.
At least 46 people were hurt, three of them seriously, when a red Land Rover plowed into a crowd at 7:40 p.m. local time (7:40 am ET), the media office in Hengyang said.
Rednet, an official media outlet in Hunan Province, said the suspect stabbed a number of people after getting out of his vehicle. Videos on social media showed people lying scattered across the square following the incident.
