The attack took place shortly after noon on a street that had been closed to vehicles for the day in Akihabara, the main district for electronics in Tokyo and a magnet for fans of Japanese anime and manga comics. The killings stunned a country that has long enjoyed low crime rates but where a series of random stabbings have recently occurred.

事发时间为中午刚过，当日事发地秋叶原(Akihabara)是禁止机动车通行的。秋叶原是东京买卖电子产品的主要街区，也是日本动漫爱好者的圣地。刺杀事件震惊了整个日本。因为日本长久以来的犯罪率较低，只是最近有些刺伤事件发生。

The police identified the attacker as Tomohiro Kato, who was living by himself in a small apartment in Shizuoka, just west of Tokyo. According to reports in the Japanese news media, Mr. Kato told the police that he had grown tired of life, “hated the world,” and had gone to Akihabara to kill people. “Anyone was O.K.,” he told the police, according to the reports.

经警方确认，凶手名为加藤智大（Tomohiro Kato），在东京西部的静冈(Shizuoka)县独自生活。根据日本媒体的报道，加藤告诉警方他厌倦了生活，“憎恨世界”，进而去秋叶原杀人。他还对警方说“（杀）任何人都行。”

Japanese television showed the police holding Mr. Kato on the ground after the attack. He was dressed in a black T-shirt, off-white trousers and jacket, and was wearing sneakers.

The police said the attack began around 12:30 p.m., when Mr. Kato drove a white, two-ton rental truck into the street in a zigzag pattern, hitting several people. He then got out of the truck and began yelling and stabbing passers-by, including a police officer.

日本某电视台播放了警方在加藤行凶后将他制服在地的镜头。他当时穿着黑色T恤，米色外套和裤子，脚上穿着运动鞋。

警方说刺杀事件大概于中午12点半发生。当时，加藤开着一辆租来的白色两吨开车，在街道上以“S”型行进，撞到了一些行人。然后，他走出卡车，大声叫喊，刺伤路人，其中包括一名警官。

Japanese television, displaying images captured on cellphones by witnesses, showed bodies scattered in the area. The authorities were seen trying to revive several victims. Six men and one woman, ranging in age from 19 to 74, died, the authorities said.

根据日本某电视台播放的由目击者的手机拍摄的图片，有几具尸体倒在现场。警方立刻在现场抢救受害者。根据警方说法，受害7人中有6男1女，年龄从19岁到74岁不等。
