YOKOHAMA – Police have arrested a Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture, man for allegedly seriously wounding a woman by stabbing her repeatedly on a street Sunday.
Atsushi Takeda, 51, who is unemployed, faces a charge of attempted murder. He allegedly stabbed the 29-year-old victim, a nearby resident, in the neck, chest and back, apparently with a knife, according to the police and fire department.
The victim’s condition was not life-threatening, officials said.
A witness in Minami Ward called police at around 2:55 p.m. Sunday to report that a woman had been stabbed by a man, who subsequently walked away.
The victim told police the man was a stranger.
この記事の中で気になった、表現は‟face”です。‟face”には「（困難・いやなこと）に直面する」という意味があります。ここでは「殺人未遂の嫌疑をかけられる」という意味になります。‟face”の持つこの意味は、‟face years in prison”で「長年懲役に服する」のように、さまざまな捉え方ができます。（Inaho）
