76-year-old woman stabbed on street in Chiba Prefecture; suspect held

Daughter?

Here's to the victim making a full recovery. Sounds like a neighbor or a family member:

おまえが悪いんだろう、このババア

Is full of deep anger.

Geez.. the boomer v. millenials animosity in the flesh

She has to be mentally imbalanced to carry this horrific attack out - this was a terrible choice which she made which will probably lead to a substantial jail-term; plenty of time to reflect on why she couldn't possibly have sorted her differences out with the elderly lady by just talking about it.

Always shows that any violence is the worst possible option.

Too many mentally ill people walking around freely in Japan. You see them on the street, on the trains, etc.

Never understood how come in Japan they let those walk free, instead of institutionalizing them in special psihiatric centers....

You are qualified and capable of judging a person's mental health just by looking at them. Quite a skill you have.

She was probably tired of listening to the old lady's constant accusations and lecturing on the same subject.

Chiba prefecture residents would just say; “oh, a Kashiwa happened again.”

Same for Matsudo.

@wallace

Yes, because you need special skills on seeing people raging on trains, talking and screaming to themselves, abusing other innocent people on the street or transportation, or related.

Yes, you need to be a specialist to realise those people are not mentally well. /s

I must live in a different Japan because I never see that.

I'm with wallace here. While these things do happen in Japan because of course they do because they happen everywhere, they are very, very infrequent. I wonder where in Japan you live that you believe or experience them as regular occurrences.

You guys need to travel more often with trains, subway, etc.

Literraly every week there are some weird people with obvious mental issues causing disturbance on lines, such as Yamanote, Chiyoda, Ginza, Marunouchi, Odakyu, etc, etc. Since I travel daily, part of the job, yes, there are plenty of people.

"Some every week", on a cluster of lines that transports millions of people every day, is "plenty of people"? Mhm.

Her wounds are reportedly not life-threatening.

Sadly it was reported on the news this morning that the victim passed away.
