The incident occurred shortly after 6 p.m., when witnesses reported a man bleeding near the station area in Hakata Ward. The victim was conscious when taken to hospital and able to respond to questions. Police identified the suspect as a 37-year-old unemployed man with no fixed address. He reportedly admitted the act and told investigators he intended to kill his father. Investigators believe the two had been in the same vehicle prior to the attack and found bloodstains inside. Police are examining the circumstances surrounding the family relationship and the events leading up to the stabbing. <\/span><b>Source: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/newsdig.tbs.co.jp\/articles\/rkb\/2349463?display=1\" target=\"\u201c_blank\u201d\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RKB<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_175009\" style=\"width: 1410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-175009\" class=\"size-full wp-image-175009\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/fnn_hakata-station-evening_2025_WEB.jpg?resize=1400%2C1050&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Son Arrested After Father Stabbed Near Hakata Station\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/fnn_hakata-station-evening_2025_WEB.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/fnn_hakata-station-evening_2025_WEB.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/fnn_hakata-station-evening_2025_WEB.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/fnn_hakata-station-evening_2025_WEB.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-175009\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Fukuoka Now, for image purposes only<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
