TOKYO (AP) - Japanese police arrested an American sailor Thursday on suspicion of attempted murder after two women were stabbed near a naval base south of Tokyo, officials said.
A woman in her 20s was seriously injured but conscious after she was stabbed in the back in Yokosuka, local police official Itaru Yamaguchi said. Another woman in her teens was slightly injured after being stabbed in the stomach in the same incident, he said.
A construction worker notified the police Thursday morning after the younger woman came out of a building looking for help, and the injured pair were taken to a hospital, Yamaguchi said. He could not confirm the nationalities of the women.
