Ryuji Kimura, 24, was indicted Wednesday on attempted murder and other charged as he is believed to be responsible for the attempted assassination of Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
The incident injured two people, although Kishida was unhurt, officials said. Kimura was wrestled to the ground and subsequently arrested at the scene.
The explosive attack came about a year after former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated while campaigning for elections on July 8, 2022. Both attacks were isolated incidents, carried out by a lone attacker using a homemade weapon.
