Children flee for their lives in China as a man with a knife comes after them.

New video shows children on the run -- that day 23 people came under attack when a man wielding a knife went on a rampage. The wounded are being treated at hospitals.

The attack happened December 14th -- the same day 20 children were gunned down in a school massacre in the United States.

The suspect is still at large.

(SOUNDBITE) (Mandarin) OUYANG MINGXING, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF GUANGSHAN PUBLIC SECURITY BUREAU, SAYING :

"He quarreled with the old woman. Then he stabbed her twice with a kitchen knife. He saw the old lady lying in blood, and thought why not go whole hog."

Officials are still trying to understand the motive.

A wave of violence in China has led to calls for more protection for the young -- in a country where many parents have only one child.
