Chang Wen

Chang Wen, a 27-year-old individual, is the suspect in a recent deadly attack in Taipei, Taiwan. The incident, which occurred on December 20, 2025, involved a knife and smoke grenades at multiple sites, including Taipei Main Station. Chang Wen's actions resulted in the deaths of three people and injuries to eleven others. He died from a fall following the attacks. The incident has prompted Taiwan's President Lai Ching-te to order sweeping security reforms. Police investigations suggest Chang Wen acted alone and that the attack was premeditated. While the attacker's motives remain unclear, investigators are exploring the possibility of an isolated and troubled life as a contributing factor. The event has brought renewed focus on public safety and security measures in Taiwan.
