Two people died Sunday morning, after a man believed to be mentally ill attacked a small group of villagers in Hangtou town of Pudong New Area.

One victim died after being rushed to hospital. Witnesses say that the 49-year-old attacker suddenly pounced on the group of people with a shovel.

The attacker was put to a stop and died as a result, but no further details were released Sunday.

Police are investigating.
