Man slits open the neck of a 3-year-old girl in random attack inTaiwan.

A three-year-old girl has reportedly been
decapitated in what local media reports are
describing as a random attack outside a metro
station in Taipei, Taiwane capital. According to
Taiwanese media, a man identified only by his
surname Wang has been arrested following the
attack and remanded in custody.

The girl was riding her bicycle a short distance
in front of her mother when the man
approached, and the mother was quoted by the
TVBS broadcaster as saying she initially thought
he was going to help her cycle up the hill. When
he pulled out a large knife and attacked the girl,
however, she was unable to prevent the attack.
Local media said the man was tackled by
passers-by and police were called shortly before
noon on Monday. TV footage showed an angry
crowd gathered outside the police station where
33-year-old suspect Wang was being questioned.

The government-run Central News Agency said
he had an arrest record for drug crimes and had
been treated for mental illness.

His father, quoted by the Eastern Broadcasting
company, said he lived at home and was
unemployed.

The girls grandmother identified only as Mrs Liu,
told a local TV channel: "I couldn't believe it.
How can something so cruel happen?'
