[Patient in the ward on the 6th floor: A dark decal is flashing.

Then he stabbed me without hesitation...

They said that you and I would die together and set fire.]



Also, A, who was wielding a weapon against a carer in her 60s who was

drying her

teeth, lit the curtains and blankets in the same room with a lighter.



[Hospital official: I set fire to two shared rooms.

I



went

to not only my ward, but also locked the door and set the fire.] The

hospital staff

extinguished the fire in

about 10 minutes, but one out of two people who were stabbed by a weapon was seriously injured and three patients were seriously injured.



A, who started receiving treatment at this hospital a month ago, is known to have suffered from mental illness such as alcohol dependence before.
