A man armed with a knife was arrested Monday after holing up at a pub in central Tokyo while throwing objects out of a window he shattered, in a standoff set off by a call he made to police saying he had eaten without having money to pay for the meal.
Police officers stormed into the Japanese-style pub near JR Yoyogi Station around 5 p.m. and arrested the man, who was naked down to the waist, on suspicion of obstructing officers from performing their duty, investigators said. The suspect, who has not been identified, sustained slight injuries but no one else was injured.
