FUKUOKA, Oct 30 (News On Japan) - A man was arrested for allegedly shouting angrily about the lack of a plastic bag inquiry and choking another customer at a supermarket in Omuta City, Fukuoka Prefecture.
The incident reportedly occurred when the 38-year-old man yelled at a female cashier, demanding, "Why didn’t you ask if I needed a plastic bag?"
As the man continued his outburst, another male customer attempted to intervene. However, the suspect allegedly responded with violence, grabbing the man by the throat, pushing him, and wrapping his arm around the man’s neck in a chokehold.
