The unemployed suspect, from Higashimurayama City in Tokyo, chillingly confessed: “I was fed up with everything, so I tried to kill someone, and ran over several elementary school students with my car.”
The terrifying incident unfolded around 1.30pm local time on Wednesday, when a passerby frantically called emergency services after the car mowed down a group of students from Senbon Elementary School.
All seven children are conscious, but one girl has been seriously hurt with a broken lower jaw, Japanese outlet NTV reports.
The rest are being treated for minor injuries, including scrapes and cuts.
Five of the victims are second graders – one girl and four boys – while the remaining two are third grade boys.
The pupils had been dismissed early from school and were walking home in small groups, according to local media.
Eyewitnesses described scenes of chaos and horror on the quiet residential street, just 500 metres from Kishinosato Station.
