Man dressed as the Joker goes on stabbing rampage in Tokyo
A man dressed as the ‘Joker’ from Batman has injured at least 17 people in a knife and arson attack on a train in Tokyo
The suspect, understood to be in his 20s, was seen wearing what appeared to be the Joker costume, walking down train carriages while waving a knife.
According to Japanese media, the man attacked people with the knife and also started a fire on the train.
In a video clip posted to social media, passengers could be seen fleeing the underground train while at a station, with others running from the burning flames inside the carriage.
The incident forced some trains within the area to be suspended, after services were disrupted.
Dozens of firefighters and police officers were seen working outside the station.
‘Halloween Stunt’
One eyewitness says she thought it was a “halloween stunt”, but the suspect showed no emotions during the attack according to another eyewitness.
The man has since been arrested by Police and has been charged with attempted murder and arson.
Violent crime is rare in Japan, but in August nine people were wounded, one of them seriously, in a stabbing on a commuter train in Tokyo, with the suspect fleeing the scene and later handing himself in.

Russia strengthens ties with China following Trump’s positive meeting with Xi Jinping, aiming for deeper cooperation across various sectors
– Russian officials emphasise their alliance with China after Trump’s meeting with Xi Jinping.
– Prime Minister Mishustin’s visit to China aims to strengthen trade and cooperation between the two nations.
Mishustin described his Chinese counterpart as a “dear friend,” stating that Russian-Chinese relations are at their peak despite Western sanctions. Li Qiang reciprocated by expressing Beijing’s readiness to strengthen ties, noting mutual support amid external risks and challenges.
Strategic Partnership
China remains Russia’s most important ally, having not condemned the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, and echoes Russia’s language, referring to the situation as a “crisis.”
Ahead of this visit, the Kremlin highlighted the significance of the talks, sending a robust delegation, including top officials from finance, agriculture, space, and nuclear energy.
Mishustin’s visit coincides with Trump’s recent discussions with Xi, where agreements were reportedly reached on several issues in a gesture seen as a trade truce amidst rising tariffs.
Trump’s engagement with China contrasts with his lack of progress in talks with Russia, which he attributed to frustrations over the Ukraine conflict. This context may indicate Russia’s unease regarding China’s positive interactions with the U.S.
