State media said "several students and adults were injured and fell to the ground", and several people were hospitalised, but a police statement later said there were no life-threatening injuries.

The driver of the vehicle - identified as a white SUV - was caught by parents and school security officers and handed over to police.

This is the third attack on a crowd in China in a week, and it has fuelled concerns about public safety.

"About a dozen people were hit, some of them seriously, but luckily the ambulance came very quickly," Mr Zhu, a parent of one of the children at the school, told the BBC.
