A machete-wielding teenager fatally stabbed three children and two teachers at a day-care center in Brazil's southern city of Saudades on Tuesday, G1 news portal reported on Tuesday, citing the municipal Secretary of Education.
The 18-year-old made his way into the day-care center for children aged between 6 months and two years and started attacking people at random, the G1 news website said.
He then tried to commit suicide and was reportedly taken to a hospital in critical condition.
