Last month, a suspect who was arrested injured 17 people in a car on the Keio Line running in Chofu City, Tokyo, sprayed lighter oil on the fleeing passengers, and then fired in the car. I found out that I was wearing a lighter.
The Metropolitan Police Department plans to confirm the situation at that time based on the video taken by the passengers and re-arrest on the 22nd on suspicion of attempted murder.
On the night of the 31st of last month, a 72-year-old passenger man was stabbed by a knife in a car on the Keio Line running in Chofu City, Tokyo, and became unconscious. 16 people were injured, including.
Unemployed Kyota Hattori, 25, was arrested on the spot on suspicion of attempted murder for stabbing a man, but in a subsequent investigation he chased a fleeing passenger and put about 3 lighter oils in a plastic bottle. According to an interview with an investigative official, it was found that the liter was applied directly and then the inside of the car was lit.
Since the security camera was not installed in the vehicle, the Metropolitan Police Department confirmed the situation at that time based on the video taken by the passengers.
On the 22nd, the policy is to re-arrest on suspicion of attempted murder or arson against another person, and will further investigate the circumstances of the case.
According to the Metropolitan Police Department, he said to the investigation, "I thought that passengers could not escape on the train. I aimed for Halloween day when there are many people."
