Man dies, wife injured in knife and sickle attack in Tokyo home

A 87-year-old man was stabbed to death and his 81-year-old wife injured Monday at their home in Tokyo’s Meguro Ward in an attack by a man armed with a knife and a sickle who fled the scene, police said. Michio Ohara died after being stabbed in the side by the man aged about 60 years at around 4:40 p.m. in front of the entrance of his house, while his wife suffered a minor cut in her right hand.

The attacker, about 160 centimeters tall and wearing a black sweater, was a stranger to the couple and ran away from neighbors who tried in vain to subdue him, according to police.

Police found the sickle with a 15-cm blade at the entrance and the fruit knife on the road several dozen meters away from the Oharas—both bloodstained, they said.

According to police, the attacker set off chimes at the entrance and suddenly assaulted Ohara, who appeared at the door, by jumping on him with the knife and sickle in his hands while shouting, ‘‘I’ll kill you.’’ The wife was quoted as telling police that she thought the man was from a parcel delivery company.

The Oharas lived on their own and nothing seemed to have been stolen from their house, police said.

The incident took place in a residential area some 300 meters southwest of Naka-meguro Station on Toyoko Line of Tokyu Corp.
