“It’s very worrying.” Five employees of a primary school in Tokyo were slightly injured on Thursday, May 8 after the intrusion of two men in the establishment, according to local media, who do not report the victims among students.
The incident occurred in the morning, shortly before 11 am, at the Municipal Primary School of Tachikawa, west of Tokyo, reports the local press, including the NHK of the Japanese public channel.
“It’s scary”
The two men, “about twenty and forty,” broke into a room breaking the windows and assaulting a teacher, before going to a class of students from 7 to 8 years.
Masted by the establishment staff, the two suspects were arrested. Five staff or staff members were injured, but none is in serious condition. The students were not affected.
According to the police, cited by the media in Japan, the incident would be linked to a difference between a student of a student and the school. He would have contacted one of the two men arrested and since then the researchers would have heard from this subject.
The Tachikawa Daisan School website indicates that it thanks more than 500 students and has more than 30 employees. The school’s television images showed teams of rescuers and police officers occupied on the campus, in front of the curious.
“I left when I heard the sirens and saw emergency vehicles everywhere,” a 79 -year -old man who lived near school on Japanese radio. “Lately there have been many incidents like this. It is very worrying,” he added.
“I am worried because I know a child who frequents this school. It is afraid to think that we never know what could happen to us,” adds another witness to the same source.
Violent crimes remain weird in the archipelago, where the homicide rate is low and where firearms legislation is one of the strictest in the world. On Wednesday night, a man was also arrested after an alleged attack against the knife in the Tokyo subway, which wounded two.
Several attacks recently shook the archipelago, including the murder in July 2022 of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, killed by an artisanal firearm during an electoral campaign speech.
