It comes just days after over 30 people were killed in a similar horror attack in the country.

The driver was dragged away from the horror scene and beaten on the side of the road.

It wasn’t clear whether the attack was deliberate – or what condition those left injured are currently in.

Harrowing footage shared on social media appeared to show people lying in the road with terrified students at the scene.

It showed furious parents and security guards at the scene forcing him to the ground and hitting him with sticks.

Some ran inside the building screaming “help, help!”.

The horror smash took place outside Yong’an primary school in Changde, central China.

On November 12 some 35 people were killed and 45 left hurt after a driver who was angry about his divorce drove his SUV into a huge crowd.

It marked the deadliest mass attack in the country in 10 years.

Those left horrified by the fresh attack this morning wrote on social media: “How can something like this be happening yet again?”

Another said: “There have been so many people taking their revenge on society recently.”

A third wrote: “These kinds of things have a copycat effect. It just takes one big event for others to learn from.

“No matter the reason, you shouldn’t ever harm innocent children.”
