A knife-wielding man dressed as the Joker went on a crazed rampage aboard a Tokyo commuter train Sunday, stabbing at least 17 people and starting a fire before finally being taken into custody.
The unidentified attacker brandished a knife and began slashing passengers aboard the crowded Keio train near the Kokuryo station while wearing the Batman villain’s costume, NHK News said in a report.
“I thought it was a Halloween stung,” one witness told reporters. “Then I saw a man walking this way, slowly waving a long knife.”
