       TOKYO -- The Mainichi Shimbun on Nov. 3 obtained nine uncut videos shot by a passenger during the knife and arson attack on a Tokyo train on Oct. 31, revealing details of the panic that swept the train cars, the rush to escape and the police response.

       The attack happened on an express train on the Keio Line as it was traveling through the Tokyo suburban city of Chofu.

       The videos shot by 32-year-old passenger Shunsuke Kimura total six minutes. They show the inside of the train just after the incident began and inside the station where the train stopped. Posted on Twitter, the videos have been used by media inside and outside of Japan, shocking people around the world.

       The raw data consists of nine video files of the incident as witnessed by Kimura, including passengers running away and escaping the train through the windows, as well as fire inside one of the passenger cars. Kimura also caught the moment when Kyota Hattori, 24, was arrested on the train on suspicion of attempted murder, and turbulent scenes around the station's ticket gates.
