A man has been arrested in Japan after stabbing 13 people near a train station in the Ibaraki Prefecture. Skip

Most of the injured are students, some as young as 12-years-old.

Unemployed Yuta Saito, 27, boarded at least one bus and attacked passengers with a knife before being subdued by a local person.

He has been arrested for attempted murder.

"One of those injured in the attack has wounds that will require several weeks in the hospital, while the others are not seriously injured," local fire department spokesman Shireka Iyoka said.

Times journalist Richard Lloyd-Parry is in Tokyo and told Sky News: "According to local reports he came out the station where there buses were waiting carrying a lot of school children.

"He jumped on board two of the buses and attacked people with a knife. Thirteen people have been injured, but not seriously.

"Eleven of those injured are school children, as young as 12-years-old.

"It sounds like a random attack although we do not know that yet. There have been a number of attacks like this, random attacks on strangers by disturbed individuals."
