Taipei MRT installs memorial plaque for attack victimStaff writer, with CNATaipei Rapid Transit Corp (TRTC) yesterday said it has installed a permanent memorial plaque to honor a man who was killed while trying to stop an attacker at Taipei Main Station last month. The plaque honoring Yu Chia-chang (余家昶) has been installed on a wall along the underground passage leading to Exit M8 at Taipei Main Station, the company said in a news release. A memorial plaque for stabbing attack victim Yu Chia-chang is pictured at MRT Taipei Main Station yesterday. Yu, who lived in Taoyuan, was seriously wounded and later died after trying to stop 27-year-old Chang Wen (張文), who threw smoke grenades inside MRT Taipei Main Station and stabbed bystanders near MRT Zhongshan Station on Dec. 19 last year. The company also reminded the public that the memorial plaque is located along a main passageway, and urged people not to place flowers or other items at the site to keep the area clear and safe.
