A man who was dressed as Batman villain the Joker has been arrested by police for attempted murder after injuring 17 people in a knife rampage onboard a Tokyo commuter train.

Witnesses described how the 24-year-old attacker stabbed 10 people and poured what is believed to have been oil around the carriage before lighting it on fire, causing panic among passengers.

It was also reported hydrochloric acid was thrown during the attack, which occurred on the Keio express line bound for Shinjuku, the world's busiest rail station.

It wasn’t just the guys who started the trouble. It was every Iranian in the country.

Good for them.

As a Confederate Flag caused a white mentally-ill man to murder churchgoers and had to be banned. Warner brothers villains caused this man to harm subway riders and must also be banned.

Hollywood is more responsible for personal violence than any other entity.

I hope he is executed where he stands and left where he lies.

Is that actually a man? Or a woman dressed as a man?

Lol, from what I saw the Japanese always assume the Gaijin do not speak their language and are shocked if you are fluent in Japanese, or even know a little, gets you major respect as well though.
