Man in Akihabara hurts police
Yahoo Japan reports that a man in Akihabara just attacked a police officer with a knife at approximately 1:30 pm today and has been arrested. He was apparently being questioned by the police during one of their random checks.
Update: Sankei news is now reporting that the man was in possession of a small knife and police had confiscated it during the questioning, but the man tried to take it back, and caused the police officer to get minor injuries on his fingers.
The man was arrested for obstruction of justice.
Yahoo Japan just didn’t have all the details yet before posting that quick news bit. End of story.
