A Japanese woman and her child and a Chinese woman were hurt in a knife attack at a bus stop in China's Suzhou city on Monday, media reports said.
There was no indication that the suspect, believed to be Chinese, intentionally targeted Japanese nationals, the official of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai told Kyodo news agency.
The injuries suffered by the two Japanese nationals were not life-threatening.
The attacker was subdued at the scene.
