Violent crimes are rare in Japan, and with its strict gun control laws, the country has only a handful of gun-related crimes annually. Most of the cases are gang-related, though in recent years there has been growing concern about home-made guns and explosives. There also have been some high-profile cases of random knifing on subways and arson attacks.
Only one person, a police official, was hurt, his arm cut by fragments of the device, which didn’t fully explode. Police arrested 24-year-old Ryuji Nakamura on suspicion of throwing an explosive in a metal tube at Kishida.
