Thirty five people have been killed and 43 others injured in a "vicious" hit-and-run attack at a sports centre in China's southern city of Zhuhai, local authorities say. "A serious and vicious attack occurred at the Zhuhai Sports Centre, in which the suspect rammed a car into people who were exercising, resulting in 35 deaths and 43 injuries," they said. Police allege that on Monday night the man drove "a small SUV through the gate and forced his way into the city's sports centre, ramming people who were exercising on the internal roads of the sports centre".
