Japanese police make arrest amid string of acid attacks on women

The four victims shared much in common. They were all young Japanese women passing through Takasaki, a city two hours from Tokyo. They had all gone shopping, only to feel something stinging their legs. And they had all looked down to find sulfuric acid eating away at their flesh.

Five days after the horrific acid attacks began, Japanese police say they have caught the man responsible for one of the attacks and are investigating his possible involvement in the other three, the Japan Times reported. Noriaki Kitamura, an unemployed man from Takasaki, has denied the charge.
