A man who authorities said was upset over his divorce settlement has rammed his car into a crowd of people exercising at a sporting complex in southern China, killing 35 and severely injuring dozens of others, police say.
Police detained the 62-year-old man, identified as "Fan", who is being treated for wounds thought to be self-inflicted, shortly after the attack on Monday night in the southern Chinese city of Zhuhai.
"Officers found Fan self-harming with a knife in the vehicle, immediately stopped him and sent him to hospital for treatment. Due to severe neck injuries, Fan is currently unconscious, still undergoing emergency treatment and unable to be interrogated," police said in a statement.

The city is hosting the People's Liberation Army's annual aviation exhibition, which opened on Tuesday, and searches for what happened were heavily censored for users behind China's Great Firewall.
Outside of the controls, however, videos circulated on the social media platform X. In several, dozens of people could be seen lying on the track at the sports complex, which is regularly used by hundreds of residents to run, play football or dance.
In one, shared by news blogger and dissident Li Ying, a woman says "my foot is broken".
That same video showed a firefighter performing CPR on a person, as others were told to leave. Li, who is known on X as Teacher Li, posts daily news based on user submissions.
In addition to the 35 people killed, police said 43 were injured.
