A young man has stabbed at least 25 women this month in Chichawatni, 450km south of the Pakistani capital, police said yesterday (Oct 28).

“We cannot confirm the total number of incidents, but its between 25 to 30.”

Doctors say most of the women were stabbed on the legs, stomach or back. The attacker’s motives are unclear, although police said he may be insane.

“Most of the women were stabbed after sunset, while two of them were wearing a burqa at the time they were attacked,” Dr Asim Waqar at Chichawatni hospital said by telephone.

His hospital received its first case on Oct 6 and has seen two or three cases a day since. Some victims have required stitches or surgery.

In the most recent attack, a man on a motorbike dismounted and stabbed a 22-year-old woman multiple times as she was standing outside her house with her sister, Dr Waqar said.

The police are hunting a single attacker, Chichawatni Station House Officer Tahir Aijaz told Reuters. They have announced a reward equivalent to US$2,000 (S$2,500) for his arrest.
