The incident occurred at around 9:45 a.m. yesterday in the city of Nagoya at the boy’s home.
The teen, who lives with his 49-year-old father, allegedly flew into a rage after being scolded for playing video games.

Despite his wounds, there are no reports to suggest that the man’s condition is life-threatening.
