Driver ploughs SUV into kids outside school before being dragged out & beaten days after 35 killed in China ram attack

SEVERAL children were left injured after a driver in China rammed an SUV into them outside a primary school this morning.

Pupils arrived for classes this morning when the car tore down a road and ploughed into them outside the school gates.

It comes just days after over 30 people were killed in a similar horror attack in the country.

The driver was reportedly dragged from their car at the horror scene and beaten on the side of the road.

Clips shared online showed men smashing in the window of the car before crowding around someone on the pavement and attacking them.

It wasn't clear whether the attack was deliberate - or what condition those left injured are currently in.

Harrowing footage shared on social media appeared to show people lying in the road with terrified students at the scene.

Some ran inside the building screaming "help, help!".

Another yelled "Call the police" as panic broke out.

The horror smash took place outside Yong’an primary school in Changde, central China.

On November 12 some 35 people were killed and 45 left hurt after a driver who was angry about his divorce drove his SUV into a huge crowd.

It marked the deadliest mass attack in the country in 10 years.

The 62-year-old driver, with the surname Fan, then stabbed himself in the neck and fell into a coma after the attack, Global Times reports.

And just a few days ago eight more were killed with over a dozen injured after a man went on a horror stabbing spree at a school in China.

A 21-year-old man who had studied at the school carried out the attack in Yixing City in China's Jiangsu province and later confessed.

Those left horrified by the fresh attack this morning wrote on social media: "How can something like this be happening yet again?"

Another said: "There have been so many people taking their revenge on society recently."

A third wrote: "These kinds of things have a copycat effect. It just takes one big event for others to learn from.

"No matter the reason, you shouldn't ever harm innocent children."
