SAGAMIHARA, JAPAN – Japan’s national broadcaster NHK reports that 15 people were killed and 45 injured in a knife attack Tuesday at a facility for the handicapped in Sagamihara, just outside Tokyo.
The report said police have arrested a knife-wielding man after he turned himself in.
NHK said the suspect, 26, is a former employee at the facility, Tsukui Yamayuri-en, on suspicion of attempted murder.
Television footage showed a number of ambulances parked outside the facility, with medics and other rescue workers running in and out.
