A Chinese national boy arrested for cutting a woman in her 20s with a knife on a street in Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, has stated that he “could have been anyone”.
The Chinese national, a self-proclaimed third-year student at a metropolitan high school, was sent to prison on 5 September on suspicion of attempted murder for cutting a woman in her early 20s with a kitchen knife on a street in Yoyogi, Shibuya Ward, and attempting to kill her.
According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police, the woman was cut multiple times on the back of the head and other parts of the body, resulting in serious injuries that will take up to a month to heal.
The boy admitted the charges and stated that he had wanted to kill someone for a year, but in a subsequent interview with investigators, he said, “I wanted to kill someone today.I didn’t care who it was”.
The boy also said he had never met the woman, and the Metropolitan Police are investigating the detailed motive.
