A high school girl was arrested Friday after randomly stabbing a man on the street in Fukumitsu, Toyama Prefecture, in a fit of drunken anger, according to police.
Police said the 15-year-old girl stabbed Hiroyuki Honda, a 21-year-old security guard, in the back with a kitchen knife at a town festival. They said they are treating it as a case of attempted murder.
Police also arrested the girl's school friend, also 15, who was standing next to her when the attack occurred.
The girl who allegedly stabbed Honda was quoted as telling investigators: "I got irritated. It could have been anyone, and I didn't care if the victim died."
