Three men were injured on Wednesday in a stabbing incident and taken to hospital after a woman wielded a knife on a train at Akihabara Station in Tokyo.
The police received an emergency call just before 11:00 pm local time (1400 GMT) saying the woman had inflicted injuries with a knife on the Yamanote loop line, one of the busiest transport routes in the city.
The woman was taken into custody while the condition of the three injured men was unknown, a Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department spokesperson said.
