A 20-year-old man surnamed Hong, who trespassed into a Taichung Metro train car and randomly attacked people with knives last month, injuring two individuals, revealed during his detention hearing that being criticized as 'useless' by his tutor was the breaking point for him. He believed he transformed from an angel into a demon and sent a message to his tutor saying, 'If there's a chance, I will definitely come find you first.' Hong's actions were premeditated due to dissatisfaction with society stemming from family and academic factors. Prior to the attack, he stayed in a hotel in Taichung, bought knives, and even practiced stabbing chicken to familiarize himself with attacking techniques. Hong expressed remorse in court and stated, 'This hell has finally ended.'
