By December 9, Koiwa Police Station of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department arrested Junichi Takebayashi, 74, an unemployed resident of Edogawa Ward, Tokyo, on suspicion of assault. He allegedly severed the left ear of Ms. A, a woman in her 80s, with a kitchen knife on the premises of her apartment. The suspect Takebayashi admitted to the crime, saying “I did it.

The alleged incident occurred at around 11:00 p.m. on December 8. The suspect, perhaps bothered by the noise coming from Ms. A’s house in the next room, tapped on the wall and said, ‘Shut up! and banged on the wall. When Ms. A opened the door, the Takebayashi suspect forced his way in and attacked her.

When police officers rushed to the scene, they found Ms. A bleeding profusely from the ear. Mr. A was also injured in his right ear, but his life is not in serious danger,” said a reporter from a national newspaper.
