Saturday, December 20, 2025 - Three people have been k!lled with five others injured after a knife-wielding attacker went on a rampage in Taiwan on Friday, before jumping to his death during a police chase.
The man had let off smoke bombs at Taipei's main train
station, and then ran to a nearby subway station in a busy shopping district,
attacking people on the way, Premier Cho Jung-tai said.
The deceased suspected attacker had a prior criminal record
and outstanding warrants, and his house had been searched, Cho told reporters.
"We will investigate his background and associated
relationships to understand his motives and determine if there are other
connected factors," he added, identifying the man only by his last name,
Chang.
Besides smoke grenades, he likely possessed items such as
petrol bombs that appeared to have burned at the scene and he was also wearing
what appeared to be body armor and a mask, Cho said.
