TOKYO — Police arrested a 22-year-old woman Wednesday on suspicion of seriously injuring an elderly woman after the latter admonished her for putting on makeup on a Tokyo subway platform.
Akimi Odajima is accused of injuring a 65-year-old woman by grabbing her shoulders and shaking her, causing the elderly woman to stumble against the first car of a train arriving at the platform, the police said. Odajima has denied the allegations.
Sounds like a fun. Honestly, how many people have NOT been tempted to throw some scolding obatarian into an oncoming train?
