The Japanese capital was hit with a mystery attack after an unidentified person sprayed an unknown substance in a luxury mall.
The incident led to over 20 people being taken to hospital.
Sky News reported:
“The Tokyo fire department said 26 people suddenly developed sore throats and felt unwell near the city’s luxury Ginza Six shopping complex. All but one of them were taken to hospital.
Their symptoms were believed to be mild, according to officials.”
Emergency workers wearing hazmat suits and face masks were seen helping people at the scene. Japanese authorities have not specified what substance was sprayed, but Japanese newspaper Yomiuri reported that police found traces of pepper spray.
CBS News reported:
“Tokyo police spokesman Yusuke Koide told French news agency AFP that a man sprayed a substance at an ATM on the ground floor of the building, while a local fire department official said ‘around 20 people were injured’ after a report of a ‘smell’.
The road in front of the mall – located in the touristy and upmarket shopping district of Ginza – was blocked off following the incident, and fire trucks lined the street.
[…] Japan remains shaken by the memory of a major subway attack in the 1990s when members of the Aum Shinrikyo cult released toxic gas [sarin] on trains, killing 14 people and making more than 5,800 ill.”
