Current Events > Man violently stabs complete stranger AGAIN for no reason.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Police have arrested a 64-year-old man on suspicion of attempted murder after he stabbed another man in his 20s on Sunday night in Tokyo's Asakusa area.

According to police, the incident occurred at around 9:20 p.m. at Tobu Asakusa station in Taito Ward. The suspect, whose name has been withheld, approached the younger man and began stabbing him in the stomach and other parts of his body, Sankei Shimbun reported.

The victim suffered several wounds and was taken to a hospital, but his condition is not life-threatening.

The suspect was quoted by police as saying that he didn’t know the name of the (younger) man, but he “was angry” and chose him at random to stab.

Some of the less forgetful CE users may realize this is the second time in Asakusa in quick succession that someone was stabbed by a complete stranger.

Last time the guy died. Thankfully this victim survived.

But Jesus Christ Tokyo sort your shit out. Random stabbings can not become a trend. just imagine it was your family or girlfriend or dog who was stabbed for no reason by a complete stranger?

It would be harrowing.

Doesn't Tokyo have one of the lowest crime rates for any major city around the world? Seems weird to tell them to sort their shit out.

Itp: someone who knows nothing about Japan.
Crime RATES are low. Not the same as low crime.
There is an enormous shame culture and corrupt police. So much so that stations with younger/foreign chiefs have been physically apologising for decades of lying.

It was just last week a woman confessed to killing her husband and was rejected 3 times by the police who sent her home.

So are you saying that many people are being stabbed in Tokyo one is reporting it?

I thought stories like that are a result of crime being so low.

I'm saying we don't know what the real crimerate is.

But yeah two random stabbings in one area is unacceptable

It was ranked as he safest city in the world
https://www.businessinsider.com.au/the-20-safest-cities-in-the-world-2015-1?r=US&IR=T

I mean I've been there and I stayed around the corner from a red light district. I never felt unsafe at all. So I can believe it.

Hell the only reason this is unusual is because the city is so damned safe usually. Two random stabbings in most cities probably wouldn't even make the news.

Two stabbings of complete strangers for no reason, one of which was fatal, would global news on any civilized country.

Stop wreeaboing

There's been days in Tulsa, OK, that multi-murder days haven't even gone beyond local news. Granted, Tulsa is a complete shitstain on civilized society, but it happens.

And Tulsa's crime rate is probably a drop in the ocean from southern Chicago, where I don't get any news from unless it's a topic on here.

This is what happens when you work 90+ hours per week. You go krazy and get angry then stab random people.
