YOKOHAMA (Kyodo) -- A man with a knife went on a rampage aboard a shinkansen bullet train bound for Shin-Osaka Station from Tokyo late Saturday, killing one passenger and injuring two others, police said.

The police arrested Ichiro Kojima, a 22-year-old unemployed man, on suspicion of attempted murder when the Nozomi train made an emergency stop near Odawara Station southwest of Tokyo. Kojima told investigators he randomly stabbed the three because he was "feeling frustrated."

A somewhat rare (though not entirely unique) and tragic event.

How awful. Thoughts are with the unfortunate witnesses and the families of the deceased.

That's terrible, to think that japan(a country said to be living 15 years in the future thanks to technology)still has things like this. hope the 2 others recover and R.I.P to the victim who didn't make it.
