A man who said he was tired of life went on a stabbing rampage on Sunday in a popular Tokyo shopping district, killing seven people, Japanese media said.
The man drove a truck into a crowd of pedestrians and then attacked passers-by with a knife in Akihabara district, known for its discount electronics and maid cafes, at lunchtime.
The rampage came on the seventh anniversary of a horrific massacre at a Japanese primary, when a knife-wielding former mental patient killed eight schoolchildren and tarnished Japan’s image as a virtually crime-free society.
