Two members one Japan's most popular pop groups AKB48 were injured Sunday. A fan attacked them a saw while they were a promotional event signing autographs. The two singers, Rina Kawaei, 19, and Anna Iriyama, 18, were mingling fans who had queued hours to see them, when a man suddenly lunged forward and slashed them a saw. The pair were fortunate not to have sustained serious injuries and were released hospital a day the attack. They both had cuts their hands and head.
