METRO RAMPAGE: Japanese tourist recounts efforts to save knife victimBy Lin Chih-yi / Staff reporter, with CNATourist Kouta Kinoshita said he felt helpless as he attempted to staunch the bleeding of a man stabbed in Taipei during a deadly rampage on Friday that left four people dead. Kouta Kinoshita films himself from the scene of a knife attack in Taipei on Friday. In an emergency, no tools are needed, just “apply direct pressure to the wound with your hands,” Kao said. As direct pressure might involve contact with the injured person’s blood, use a piece of clothing, such as a scarf or similar item, to apply pressure, Kao said. A tourniquet can be tied above the wound to stop blood flow when arteries are damaged, he said.
