Hammer attacker wounds at least 8 at Japanese university: media ...Middle East

All those hurt were conscious, according to public broadcaster NHK, which cited police sources as saying that the afternoon attack took place at Hosei University’s Tama Campus.

Police could not immediately confirm details to AFP about a rare instance of violent crime in Japan, which has strict gun control laws.

There are occasional stabbings and even shootings in Japan, including the assassination of former prime minister Shinzo Abe in 2022.

The teens were in line to order at around 8:30 pm when the attacker reportedly entered the restaurant in the city of Kitakyushu and stabbed them both.

The 51-year-old attacker slashed at a group of children before fatally stabbing himself in the neck.

The victims included an 18-year-old boy, a 17-year-old girl and a 72-year-old man, police said at the time.

He was not taking the exams and was not acquainted with the three victims but told police he “wanted to die after causing an incident as I didn’t do well in my studies”, public broadcaster NHK reported.

NHK said the university, where 3,700 students were scheduled to take the tests, went ahead with the exams as planned.
