A violent attack at Taipei Main Station shocked the Taiwan region this week, leaving four dead and five injured. The incident unfolded Friday afternoon when a masked suspect detonated smoke bombs and attacked bystanders with a knife, triggering chaos in one of the city's busiest transit hubs. 🚇
Security footage shows the 27-year-old assailant, wearing a gas mask, releasing thick smoke before stabbing multiple victims. Authorities confirmed the suspect later fell to his death while evading police near a crowded shopping district. “This was a senseless act of violence,” a local official stated, as investigators work to determine the motive behind the tragedy.
Emergency teams rushed six injured victims to hospitals, where two succumbed to their wounds. Over 1,000 commuters were temporarily evacuated during the lockdown. Taipei residents expressed grief and concern online, with many calling for enhanced public safety measures. 💔
The attack marks the worst violence in Taipei's metro system since 2025 began. Police have reassured the public that there's no evidence of further threats. (Source: Xinhua)
