ISTANBUL

Trains in Japan's capital, Tokyo, were suspended after a knife attack in the metro, local media reported.

Some sections of the Tokyo Metro's Namboku Line were suspended due to the attack, and the full line is expected to resume services at around 11 p.m. local time (1400GMT), according to the NHK broadcaster.

A man with a knife attacked two men, injuring one in the head and one in the hand, inside a train car while they were boarding, according to the broadcaster.

The 43-year-old attacker was restrained by passengers after the attack and was arrested by police on suspicion of attempted murder.

Japan has seen several knife attacks recently. One such attack killed one person and injured two others in central Japan in January.
