A Korean woman in her 20s wielded a hammer at a Japanese university on the 10th, injuring eight people, local media including Kyodo News and NHK reported.
According to reports, A, a woman enrolled in the Department of Social Affairs at Hosei University in Japan, brandished a hammer at students during class in the Tama Campus classroom in Machida, 町, Tokyo this afternoon.
Eight students in their 20s, including five men and three women, had bruises on their heads, foreheads, and arms.
Five of them were taken to the hospital, and the other three were said to be treated at the hospital after receiving first aid at a clinic in the school due to bleeding from their heads.
Kyodo News said, "All injuries are minor," adding, "About 100 people were taking classes."
Mr. A, who was arrested at the school, reportedly stated, "I was ignored by the group and hit him with a hammer at the university."
Mr. A told the police that he is a Korean living in Hachioji, Tokyo.
A Foreign Ministry official said, "The local mission has been providing the necessary consular assistance since it was recognized that the Korean people were arrested," adding, "It is difficult to mention the details as an ongoing investigation."
