2025年12月19日,台北,一场持刀袭击造成三人死亡后,台北地铁警力增加。
 
A man armed with a knife and smoke bombs killed at least three and injured nine others in Taiwan's capital Taipei, local media reported on Friday.
据当地媒体周五报道,一名手持刀和烟雾弹的男子在台北造成至少三人死亡、九人受伤。
 
The suspect began throwing smoke bombs down one of the exits out of a metro station during evening rush hour, and randomly stabbed people with a knife.
晚上高峰时段,嫌疑人开始向地铁站的一个出口投掷烟雾弹,并用刀随意刺伤人。
 
One victim reportedly died from cardiac arrest while two others succumbed to their injuries.

在社交媒体上流传的视频中,可以看到袭击者穿着防弹衣和口罩,手持长刀,从背包拿出烟雾弹投掷。
 
The suspect had an outstanding warrant out for his arrest from earlier this year, after he neglected to upxe his residence registration and failed to receive his mandatory draft notice, United Daily News (UDN) wrote, citing data from the local District Prosecutor’s Office.
《联合报》(UDN)援引当地地区检察官办公室的数据称,嫌疑人从今年初就被通缉(尚未执行),原因是他没更新居住登记,和未能收到强制性征兵通知。
 
The rampage reportedly began earlier that morning, when the suspect set fire to his residence and vehicles in the area, before heading to the metro station.
据报道,骚乱始于当天早上,当时嫌疑人纵火焚烧了他当地的住所和车辆,然后前往地铁站。
