Initially, the three teens who emerged relatively unscathed from the assault told the police they had been beaten by a group of five or six men who spoke a language other than Japanese..
Further interrogation revealed that they had actually been beaten by Japanese bikers who ordered them to tell the police they were assaulted by foreigners.
The boys said the bikers threatened to stop them from ever walking again if they told investigators who had really attacked them.
Happy GW Killing!
