A mother and her son were discovered inside a car, with stab wounds inflicted by a knife, on Tuesday night in Fukuoka City, police said Wednesday.
According to police, they received a call at around 9:40 p.m. on Tuesday from a man, stating that his wife and his son were bleeding from knife wounds in a car on a national highway in Fukuoka City’s Tenjin district, Sankei Shimbun reported. Police rushed to the scene and found the woman, in her 60s and her son, who is in his 30s, inside a vehicle. The woman's husband, who is in his 70s, was also present.
The mother and son were taken to the hospital. Their wounds are not life-threatening, police said.
Police said the father told them: “My son began to behave violently at home, so his mother stabbed him in the back with a knife. The three of us were heading to the police station when my wife stabbed herself in the stomach.”

Can't get anymore freaky than this, but I might be surprised!

Oh, boy! I’m amazed beyond comment.
She still had the knife with her in the car on their way to hospital?

Hopefully they will recover some sanity in their household and/or their son will get the help he needs. And the mother will learn some coping strategies that don't include attempted murder.
Also love how these reports always mention the police "rushed" to the scene as opposed to "When the police arrived they found..."

I think they going to the police station. Not the wisest place to take a knife.

It seems rather the wife is mentally ill and being the most violent. You stab a person "in the back." Only voluntarily.

"yes, and I went to work and for some reason all my coworkers were poisoned with gas, but I was ok.
I went to my favorite bar, but then all of the other customers had stabbed each other with forks and knives and the bartenders beat each other with bats. But I was just minding my own business.
Then I went to..........."
If the police can't figure this one out, they all need to be fired or arrested themselves. Ridiculous.
