Piping The Truth Into Your Brainballs!
Story published on June 8, 2008
An unidentified man has driven a rental truck into a crowded pedestrian area in Tokyo, knocking pedestrians to the ground.
He then climbed out of the vehicle and went on a crazed stabbing spree with a large “Rambo style” survival knife. The streets were full of people in the busy electronics district of Akihabara, as it was lunchtime, and the man walked along indiscriminately stabbing and slashing people.

One witness gave this account:
“The man jumped on top of a man he had hit with his vehicle and stabbed him with a knife many times, as he walked toward Akihabara Station, he slashed nearby people at random.”
The death count is confirmed so far to be seven. Six men aged between 19 and 74 have died, and one 21 year old woman. Up to 14 others have been injured, some seriously and at least five shoppers have suffered from heart attacks.
The man was eventually stopped by an armed policeman who confronted the knife attacker, witnesses say the attacker threw down the knife and surrendered to the officer who was carrying a firearm.
The man reportedly then gave the police this statement,
“I came to Akihabara to kill people, I am tired of the world. Anyone was OK. I came alone.”
Today’s attack comes exactly seven years to the day after the shocking Osaka School Massacre, where Mamoru Takuma murdered eight children aged under nine and injured several others.
