Some 35 people were killed and 43 were injured in a car ramming incident that took place on Monday evening in Zhuhai, South China's Guangdong Province. The suspect, a 62-year-old divorced male, drove a car into the crowd in a sports center in Zhuhai at around 7:48pm on Monday, according to a statement released by Zhuhai police on Tuesday.

The injured are not in life-threatening condition, police said. 

The suspect, surnamed Fan, attempted to flee the scene but was controlled by police on the spot. Police discovered that Fan had tried to commit self-harm with a knife inside the car. They intervened and sent him to a hospital for treatment.
