Shocking Incident in Taiwan: 3-Year-Old Girl Stabbed in Public

A dispute over a drink escalates to a horrifying act of violence, leaving a young child injured.

A horrific incident unfolded in Taoyuan, Taiwan, on the first day of the Qingming Festival holiday. Around 10:00 AM this morning, a woman, approximately 50 years old, visited a bubble tea shop. After an argument with the shop employee, she escalated the situation dramatically.

The woman, initially ordering a drink, reportedly then claimed to be the property owner, demanding the employee call the manager. Following a heated conversation with the manager, the woman allegedly threw the employee's phone and began damaging the counter. She then produced a knife, escalating the conflict.

Two women from nearby shops, hearing the commotion, intervened to mediate the dispute. However, the woman turned her aggression toward the two women. Failing to attack them, she turned and shockingly stabbed the 3-year-old daughter of one of the women who attempted to mediate. The child sustained a stab wound to the back but remained conscious. She was immediately rushed to the hospital.
