Four US college instructors stabbed in public park in China

Police in China have arrested a 55-year-old man after four US university tutors were stabbed at a public park.

The Iowa Cornell College instructors were taken to hospital after a "serious incident" during the daytime attack in the northern province of Jilin, a college statement said.

Iowa Representative Adam Zabner said his brother, David, was one of the four instructors injured in what he described as a stabbing.

China's foreign ministry said that none of those injured were in a life-threatening condition.

Police said an assailant with the surname Cui clashed with one of the Americans and then stabbed the person. He went on to injure three other US visitors and a Chinese tourist who tried to come to their rescue.
