A man dressed in the costume of Batman villain, the Joker, and brandishing a knife on a Tokyo commuter train on Sunday stabbed several passengers before starting a fire, which sent people scrambling to escape and jumping from windows, police and witnesses said. The Tokyo Fire Department said 17 passengers were injured, including three seriously. Not all of them were stabbed and most of the other injuries were not serious, the agency said. The attacker, identified as a 24-year-old man, was arrested on the spot and was being investigated on suspicion of attempted murder, NHK said. His motive was not immediately known. Nippon Television reported that the suspect told police that he wanted to kill and get a death penalty, and that he used an earlier train stabbing case as an example.

In trial proceedings, Tsushima, who was unemployed for several months prior to the incident, said he had long harbored a desire to commit random mass murder and fantasized about killing women he perceived as "successful" in life, such as those looking happy with their partners. He also said he considered himself "unlucky" and "always had a sense of inferiority and a jealousy-like feeling, which could only be transformed into hatred" toward other people.
