TOKYO (TR) – Tokyo Metropolitan Police have arrested six male Vietnamese nationals over an alleged assault of a seventh Vietnamese national in Shinjuku Ward earlier this year, reports TV Asahi (July 1).
At around 11:00 p.m. on April 28, Ngo Thien Thanh, 28, and five others allegedly used at least one beer mug and a chair to repeatedly strike the male victim, a 23-year-old Japanese language student, in the face inside a restaurant, located in the Hyakunincho area.
The victim suffered serious injuries, including bone fractures, police said.
