A 21-year-old man in China was arrested by the Chinese police after slashing two girls with a knife at a public square.
He was apparently upset at them for rejecting his advances.
A video of the horrific attack made the rounds on Weibo, a Chinese social media network, showing the man hacking away at a girl who was lying down on the ground, motionless.
He was seen in the video (wearing white) hacking the girl who was on the ground, while numerous bystanders stood and watch.
None of them stepped forward to help the victim or stop him, presumably afraid of getting attacked themselves.
According to Apple Daily, the two victims are aged just 13 and 14 years old.
The man, identified as Zhang, allegedly tried to strike up a conversation with them but was turned down, and he then got upset and attacked them.
The police rushed to the scene and subdued Zhang, with the help of some members of the public, and the girls were then sent to the hospital.
The two girls are in stable condition with no life-threatening injuries.
