A mother from Taiwan witnessed her ex-boyfriend slit her daughter's throat on Thursday.

The culprit, only identified as Huang, was allegedly forcing her to rekindle their already dead relationship. As he fails to win her back, Huang is prompted to slit the neck of the mother's 12 year old daughter.

The tragic incident was said to have transpired at around 8 p. m. on Thursday, March 31, in Tainan, a small town in the southern part of the country. SETN.com reported that after hearing her mother and Huang argue, the 12-year-old child tried to intervene and stop the disagreement. The fight escalated to greater heights up until the child has become Huang's bargaining chip.

She was subsequently taken as a hostage and after negotiations have broken down, Huang slit the throat of the kid leaving a .5-cm deep and 6-cm long cut across her neck. Luckily, since the wound was not too deep, it only required eight stitches from the hospital where the mother brought her.

It was mentioned that after neighbors heard the mother screaming and begging for help, they attended to her outcry as fast as they could but upon arrival at the scene, Huang was already nowhere to be found.

This is the latest among the four incidents of attack that have taken rounds in the Taiwanese community for the past four days.

The first incident was the decapitation of a four year old child along the streets of Taipei that was likewise witnessed by her mother. The second attack happened in the same city and involved a 28-year-old man stabbing a police officer with a steak knife on the train station. The third occurrence, on the other hand, involved a stranger who tried killing an environmental worker with a saw.

Although the first incident did not save the life of the four year old child, the victims of the second and the third incidents luckily survived. The Taiwan Police has been worried about the growing instances of attacks and has already warned the public of possible copycats.
