On January 6, the Kushiro Police Station in Hokkaido announced the arrest of a 25-year-old Chinese man from Tokyo on suspicion of assault.
The incident occurred at around 8:50 AM on January 4 at a hotel in Akan, Kushiro City, where the man was staying with several acquaintances. He is accused of striking a 26-year-old male hotel employee on the shoulder.
The day before, during breakfast, the man had requested to sit at a table with a view of the river, but the hotel had informed him that seating was on a first-come, first-served basis and reservations were not possible.
When his request was not fulfilled the next morning, the man became angry, questioning, “Why?” and then physically assaulted the employee.
After receiving a report that an employee had been struck, the police rushed to the scene. However, by the time they arrived, the man had already fled the hotel. The next day, as the man attempted to return to Tokyo, he was arrested by investigators who were waiting near Kushiro Airport.
During questioning, the man denied the charges, claiming he had only “pushed” the employee. However, hotel security cameras clearly recorded the moment he struck the employee.
Police plan to investigate the full motive and details of the assault.
