The woman, a nursery worker at the school at a pre-school slashed five boys and three girls with a self-made steel ruler. She was subsequently arrested.The frequency of such attacks, stated to be carried out by frustrated persons, increased since last year, when some men walked into schools and targeted children with blunt weapons.
