Can I call the police for attempted wounding?

Attempted attack will be prosecuted. According to the relevant provisions of China's criminal law, as long as the perpetrator intentionally carries out acts that harm others' bodies, it constitutes the crime of intentional injury, and generally it should be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance. If it constitutes an attempted crime, it can be compared with the accomplished crime of intentional injury, but the attempted crime is still a crime, so the victim can still directly bring a lawsuit to the court according to law.
