9 wounded in knife attack

At least nine people were injured in an indiscriminate smoke grenade and knife attack in Taiwan’s Capital on Friday, and the suspect appeared to have jumped from a building to avoid arrest, Taipei’s mayor said. Police said the suspect was certified dead after being sent to the hospital, Taiwan’s Central News Agency reported. The suspect threw smoke grenades at the Taipei Main subway station near the city’s main train station, sending pedestrians running, according to local media reports. He then rode the subway one stop, exited the station and threw more smoke grenades on the street, according to footage carried by broadcaster EBC. He was holding a knife and wielding it at pedestrians before running into a shop, causing people to scream, the video showed.
