At approximately 1:30 p.m., a guard at Tokyo Summerland alerted emergency services about “a woman who had been slashed in her buttocks and was bleeding into a pool.”
According to police, the women, aged between 18 and 24, were transported to a nearby hospital. They all had suffered light wounds to the buttocks that appeared to be due to a razor-like object.

Police are now examining security camera footage to locate any persons carrying suspicious objects into or out of the park.
