On Friday, at least 10 persons were injured in a knife attack incident that took place in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo.

One suspect was detained by the authorities after he escaped from the scene and hid in a store near the railway station. The suspect left behind his phone, and the knife he used before fleeing the scene of the accident.

The sources added that all injured people are in stable condition except one who is suffering from serious but not life-threatening wounds.

In the same context, a 19-year-old boy who was at the scene during the accident told Japan Time: "There were a lot of people with blood on their clothes and running away in panic."

It is worthy to mention that Tokyo is still hosting the world-famed Olympic Games 2020 which will be concluded next Sunday.
