Tokyo Dec 16:Â Japanese police have arrested a 30-year-old man in connection with the stabbing of two people at an entertainment complex in Fukuoka, southern Japan, where the female pop group HKT48 is based. The incident occurred on Sunday and left both victims with non-life-threatening injuries. Police said the suspect allegedly stabbed a 44-year-old male staff member of the HKT48 theater in the chest with what appeared to be a kitchen knife after being confronted for entering an unauthorized area. The suspect also reportedly stabbed a 27-year-old woman in the back in an elevator hall before fleeing. Authorities are investigating the case as a possible attempted murder, though the suspectâs motive remains unclear. Following the incident, HKT48 cancelled a fan event scheduled for Sunday night. While violent crime is uncommon in Japan due to strict gun control laws, recent years have seen several high-profile knife attacks.Tokyo Dec 16:Â Japanese police have arrested a 30-year-old man in connection with the stabbing of two people at an entertainment complex in Fukuoka, southern Japan, where the female pop group HKT48 is based.
