The Japanese government is considering tighter restrictions on large-bladed survival knives after a stabbing rampage in the capital Tokyo left seven people dead and ten people injured over the weekend.
Police arrested a blood-spattered 25-year-old man who they said drove a truck into a crowd of people, then got out and began a frenzied knife attack. The killings follow a string of similar incidents in recent months, shocking Japan and sparking talk of failing communities and declining morality in a country proud of its low crime rate.
