"At present, the injured are receiving treatment in the hospital. Investigations are ongoing," police said in a statement.

"The situation is still quite chaotic, they're still determining the numbers. The police are working on it," a local resident told The Paper.

Authorities have told residents and merchants in the neighbourhood to "lock their doors" and "avoid contact with unknown persons", according to Chinese news outlet Hongxing News.
