    A man rammed his car into a crowd in China’s central Hubei province, killing six people and injuring seven others before being shot dead by the police on Friday.


    The incident took place at around 6 am (local time) in Zaoyang city, state-run CGTN reported.


    The driver had been shot dead by the police, it said.


    A total of seven people, including the perpetrator, had been killed in the incident, it said.


    The seven injured had been hospitalised, the report said.


    Incidents of random attacks on civilians by disgruntled persons have become common in China in recent years.


    Last September, three people were killed and 43 others injured when a man drove his SUV into a crowd and later went on a stabbing spree in China’s Hunan province.


    Some peoples carrying knives targeted primary schools and mall to vent out their anger.
