The latest incident happened at about 15:00 (07:00) on Sunday.
Eyewitness Ni Bowen told the Associated Press news agency that she was waiting to check in at Pudong International Airport when there was a loud bang.
"A beer bottle filled with white smoke rolled right by my feet. I was scared and made off at once,'' she said.
The four victims sustained light wounds and are being treated in hospital. The unnamed attacker is said to be in a critical condition. But they need to keep him alive, so he could tell why he carried out the act.
