Japan Times -- Feb 19

Police on Monday arrested a truck driver for allegedly driving off with a man clinging to the side of his vehicle following a road rage incident in Miyagi Prefecture last June.

Teruaki Ito, 46, from Ageo, Saitama Prefecture, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

Despite knowing he had the victim, a 51-year-old from Tochigi Prefecture, holding onto the side of his truck, Ito weaved as he drove for about 6 kilometers along Route 4, a major national highway in the prefecture.

After holding on for about 10 minutes, the victim eventually fell to the ground, sustaining injuries to his chest and left leg.
