Rumors spread about a child being stabbed on the streets of China... No announcement from authorities

Claims that a child was attacked with a weapon in a city in Guangdong Province, southern China, are spreading online, but authorities have not made an official announcement.

A video that appears to have been captured at the scene was also circulated, leaving netizens shocked, while the truth of the incident has not yet been confirmed.

According to Hong Kong media such as Chengdu Daily and hk01 on the 5th, an eyewitness account that a child was found lying on the street after being stabbed with a weapon near an apartment complex in Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province, around 9 p.m. on the 2nd began to spread through X (old Twitter) on the 3rd.

A video showing a boy, estimated to be two or three years old, lying bleeding on the floor and paramedics rushing to transport him also spread on social media.

Additionally, two men in uniform, presumed to be police officers, were seen seemingly subduing someone in front of a nearby restaurant.

One netizen who claimed to be an eyewitness said, “The mother who came out after eating at the restaurant completely broke down at the scene when she found the child.”

Netizens criticized the cruelty of the incident in which a child was attacked with a weapon.

To date, the Chinese authorities have not made an official announcement, so the child's current condition and circumstances, as well as the facts, have not been confirmed.

However, Hong Kong media outlets pointed out that related videos were quickly blocked and deleted on social media in mainland China.

In the wake of this incident, cases of so-called 'unreasonable rioting incidents' that have occurred in mainland China in recent years were also shared on X.
