Japanese woman goes on stabbing rampage, wounding 7 people at train station

A Japanese woman went on a stabbing rampage at a crowded train station wounding seven men after failing to slash her own wrist, police said Tuesday.

The woman attempted to cut her wrist with an army knife at a shopping mall near the train station in Hiratsuka, some 70 kilometers (43 miles) southwest of Tokyo on Monday night, but someone bumped into her and she became angry, said police official Hidetoshi Yukitake.

"She was screaming as she was slashing people at random," Yukitake said.
