Wow, after this attack and the Todai stabbings, are we going to get security checks at Japanese universities?
Eight students were injured in a hammer attack at a Tokyo university on Friday, but none required hospitalization. A 22-year-old South Korean student was arrested at the scene on suspicion of assault. According to reports, the attack was allegedly motivated by frustration over bullying. Witnesses described the attacker suddenly beginning to swing the hammer in the classroom. The university is cooperating with police in their investigation.
