TOKYO (AP) — Police in Japan have arrested a woman who wielded a knife and injured four passengers inside a train that stopped at Tokyo’s electronic town of Akihabara. NHK public television reported that police rushed to the scene late Wednesday after a report that a woman was brandishing a knife while the train stopped at the Akihabara station, where four people were injured and taken to a hospital. Kyodo News says police arrested the attacker, identified only as a woman in her 20s, on suspicion of attempted murder. It said at least three men who were stabbed were taken to hospitals.
