A violent incident shook one of Taipei’s busiest transit hubs, sending commuters into panic and chaos. According to early reports, the situation escalated when smoke devices were activated inside the main train station, triggering confusion and mass evacuations. Shortly afterward, an attacker armed with a knife began stabbing passengers, resulting in at least three deaths and several people injured.
Emergency sirens echoed through the station as heavily armed police and first responders rushed to the scene. Train services were immediately suspended, platforms were cleared, and large areas were sealed off while authorities worked to regain control. Witnesses described thick smoke filling sections of the station, loud announcements over speakers, and terrified crowds scrambling for exits.
Police quickly confronted the suspect and took him into custody at the scene. Investigators are now examining whether the smoke devices were deliberately used to create fear and disorientation before the attack. Authorities urged the public to stay away from the area as forensic teams continue their investigation. More details are expected as officials release further information.
