A Sudden Attack at a Japanese Tire Plant

In a shocking event, a man in Japan caused harm to 15 people at a tire factory. He used a knife and a chemical liquid, believed to be bleach. This happened in Mishima, a city in the Shizuoka prefecture, near Tokyo.

The man, aged 38, was quickly caught by the police. He is now facing charges for trying to kill people. It's still unclear why he did this. Reports say he might have had some connection to the factory. He was also wearing a gas mask and carrying a large knife.

Violent crimes like this are not common in Japan. The country is known for having strict laws and a low crime rate. This makes the incident even more surprising.

Eight people were hurt by the knife, and five of them are in bad shape. The other seven were injured by the chemical liquid. All of them were taken to the hospital right away.

The Yokohama Rubber Company is where this all happened. The factory is a big part of the local economy. This event has left the community in shock.
