A 61-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a woman by spraying her with a spray can at a commercial facility.

The security camera footage shows the man chasing a woman and spraying her face.

According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, the man is suspected of assaulting a woman he did not know in July 2025.

He is believed to have carried a knife and attempted to stab the woman.

He has reportedly admitted to the charges and said that he “wanted to do it if he found someone weaker” than him, and that he “wanted to spend a long time in prison.”
