Man Indicted Over Knife-Point Hostage Incident at Taoyuan Airport
Posted on 2026-11-13 18:27:13
The Taoyuan District Prosecutors Office has indicted a 44-year-old man for
taking a Cathay Pacific intern hostage at knifepoint at Taoyuan International
Airport.

Prosecutors are seeking a prison sentence of two years and six months.

The incident took place on September 12th, when the man, surnamed Tsai,
entered the airline's staff lounge in Terminal 1 and began waving a fruit
knife at employees.

He held an intern hostage for around 30 minutes, cutting his hand and abdomen
and leaving him with injuries that required hospital treatment.

Several police officers were also injured while subduing Tsai, who suffered
only minor injuries.

Prosecutors say Tsai had used *amphetamines* before the incident and was
distressed over marital problems.

He faces charges including public intimidation, unlawful deprivation of
liberty while armed, and bodily harm.
