In one video, passengers were running from another car that was in flames. Television footage showed a number of firefighters, police officials and paramedics rescuing the passengers, many of whom escaped through train windows. Tokyo police officials said the attack happened inside the Keio train near the Kokuryo station. Witnesses told police that the attacker was wearing a bright outfit - a green shirt, a blue suit and a purple coat - like the Joker villain in Batman comics or someone going to a Halloween event, according to media reports.Ī video posted by a witness on social media showed the suspect seated, with his leg crossed and smoking in one of the train cars, presumably after the attack. Nippon Television said he also said that he used an earlier train stabbing case as an example. Police said he told authorities that he wanted to kill people and get the death penalty. Injury details of other 16 passengers are still being investigated, police said.

The attacker, riding an express train headed to Tokyo’s Shinjuku station, abruptly took out a knife and stabbed a seated passenger - a man in his 70s - in the right chest, police said. The attacker, whom police identified as 24-year-old Kyota Hattori, was arrested on the spot after Sunday’s attack and was being investigated on suspicion of attempted murder, the Tokyo metropolitan police department said Monday.
