Officers found the suspect in the basement of the center with self-inflicted cuts to her wrists.

She has not yet been charged.

"It looks to be an illegal" childcare facility, apparently for members of the city's Asian community, the police spokesman told AFP.

"We're unsure of its legality at this time."

It was not immediately clear how many other children were at the center at the time of the assault.
