Chinese man arrested on suspicion of spraying at Ginza Six - Metropolitan Police Department

In May, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Tsukiji Police Station arrested a Chinese university student, Kanomori Kaede (24), from Fukaizawa-cho, Naka-ku, Sakai City, on suspicion of causing bodily harm, in connection with an incident in May in which 25 people were transported after a spray was fired at GINZA SIX, a large commercial facility in Ginza, Tokyo. He reportedly stated, ``I don't want to talk about it.''

The suspect is accused of spraying a man in his 30s on the first floor of Ginza Six around noon on May 25th with a spray containing capsaicin, which is extracted from chili peppers. Suspected of causing injuries to an unspecified number of people, including eye and sore throats.

According to police, the suspect fired a spray gun at a man who was at the ATM corner and fled on the subway. A nearby security camera showed the suspect meeting with another man, and police are investigating the incident, suspecting that the man was also involved.
