A 47-year-old Chinese man died after being found stabbed on a street in Tokyo on Sunday morning.
According to police, a passerby found the man, bleeding from multiple stab wounds to his stomach, collapsed on a street crossing in Edogawa Ward at around 1:35 a.m., Fuji TV reported. Police said the man, identified as Tatsusen Cho, was taken to hospital where he died about an hour later.
At around 4:30 a.m., a man called 110 from a Chinese restaurant about 200 meters from the scene of the stabbing and said he was injured. Police said the caller was a Chinese man in his 30s who had apparently stabbed himself. A blood-stained knife was beside him.
Police said his life is not in danger and will wait until he recovers before questioning him about Cho's murder.
The incident occurred about 700 meters from Kasai Station on the Tozai subway line.

Did he attack the 47-year-old? Was the man trying to commit suicide from guilt? Why would he call the police for help?
Was he trying to claim that he was attacked with a knife and defended himself after wrestling the knife away?

What's started? I know what you're wanting to convey...just want to see you actually write it.

Sure, exercise, friendship, entertainment.
You seem to imply that there is something wrong with being on the streets at 1:30 am. What exactly would that be?

Dango bong and Vinke ....article clearly states time of incident as around 4:30am, but as it's around 1:30am now as I'm writing this comment, my eyesight has also slightly diminished...but not from being out late, more from reading all the coronavirus news reports lately.

....oops, maybe my eyesight isn't the problem, just my comprehension skills !?
