At least 19 people have
been killed and 45 wounded Tuesday in Japan after a knifeman went on the
rampage, according to reports.
The attack happened in
the city of Sagamihara, west of Tokyo, where locals saw a man dressed in black
clothes holding a weapon in the grounds of the Tsukui Yamayuri Garden.
It is thought that the
building includes facilities for disabled people.
Four of the injured are
said to be in a serious condition.
Police say they have
arrested a 26-year-old man who was a former staff member and that he has
confessed to the stabbings.
The suspect reportedly
escaped the facility but then turned himself in. Details of the motive have not
yet been released.
Officers swarmed the
scene after receiving a call from staff just after 2.30am local time.
