The Double Ten holiday starts today, but on the evening of the 8th, a man stabbed people with a knife at Dongdamen Night Market in Hualien. The stall vendor said that someone was drunk and threw a wine bottle, and rushed out with a watermelon knife, chasing tourists randomly. No one was chopped, but someone was cut by the bottle!

Stall vendors and tourists heard someone yelling, "Someone is using a knife to kill someone," and when they saw others running, they also ran away from the night market. A Dutch female passenger's hair was cut with a knife, but fortunately she was not injured. Some people also wrote in their PO posts, "It's so scary...it felt like a battle royale...".

After receiving the report, the police rushed to the scene and arrested the man on the spot. The man was taken to the branch. The police said that it was initially confirmed that no one was injured.

According to police investigation, the man who stabbed someone was a 33-year-old man surnamed Li. He is a member of the Unification Promotion Party. He usually participates in Unification Promotion Party activities. He also has a photo with Zhang Anle on his personal account. He has a clear political stance and an irritable personality. He often gets into arguments and conflicts with people over political topics.

The Hualien Police Station stated on the evening of the 8th that the police arrived at the scene and found that the suspect had fled outside the night market. Only the scabbard was left at the scene, and the knife had been taken away. The police immediately called the surveillance camera and sent a large number of police officers to patrol the surrounding areas. They found the man named Li who had escaped outside the night market. They immediately suppressed and arrested him and brought the man back to the branch for investigation. The motive is still being understood. He will be handled according to law and asked the prosecutor to apply for court custody.

Hualien County Police Chief Fan Zhikun said that Hualien will have a large number of tourists visiting during the Double Ten holiday and has ordered to strengthen patrols and safety maintenance. He also immediately expressed his greetings to the frightened tourists on behalf of County Magistrate Xu Zhenwei and will report it to the health authorities for follow-up treatment.
