Min Yongjun waves a knife at a child at a school on December 14, 2012 in Guangshan County, in central China's Henan province in this screen grab taken from a video released by China's Public Security Bureau
A knife-wielding attacker who stabbed 22 students at a primary school in China was sentenced to death on Friday, a court said.
The Xinyang City Intermediate People's Court said Min Yongjun, 37, was found guilty of intentional homicide and condemned to death, almost a year after he stormed a school in the central province of Henan and slashed dozens of pupils.
No-one was killed but 22 children were injured in the brutal attack, which took place on the same day that 20 children were shot dead at a primary school in Newtown, Connecticut, in the United States.
Surveillance footage showed Min pursuing a group of panicked children through an unguarded school gate, before a group of adults entered equipped with straw brooms and chased him out
