Japanese Man Dressed As The Joker Stabs 17 People On Tokyo Train

Man In Joker Costume Goes On Stabbing Rampage In Tokyo Subway Car

A man who was dressed as the Joker went on a rampage as he started randomly stabbing train passengers near Kukuroyo station in Tokyo, Japan.

Witnesses said the 24-year-old male sprayed a clear liquid in the subway car and lit a fire, causing passengers to panic and flee from the train car.

Moments later, he started stabbing multiple passengers as they tried to exit the car and the Tokyo Police Department said in a statement that 17 people were injured in the attack, and three were reported to be seriously injured.

During his arrest, the suspect told police that he wanted to “kill people so he could be sentenced to death” and a witness said they thought the incident was a Halloween stunt due to his costume.

“I thought it was a Halloween stunt. Then, I saw a man walking this way, slowly waving a long knife.”
