Man stabs Osaka convenience store manager

OSAKA —

Police on Friday arrested a 54-year-old man on suspicion of attempted murder after he allegedly stabbed the manager of a convenience store in Higashi-Osaka.

According to police, the suspect—identified as Taisei Ishii—came into the Circle K Sunkus store at about 10:15 a.m. Witnesses say he brought a bento to the counter and then heard him say to the 27-year-old manager, “Guys like you should die,” TBS reported. He then allegedly stabbed the manager with a cutter knife and fled on a bicycle, but was apprehended a short time later by police.

During questioning, Ishii was quoted by police as saying the store manager tried to stab him, TBS reported.

    Guys like you should die eh.. after 15 yrs here I think a lot of guys think that about me just for being groomed and dressed proper. Love the oyajis who grunt noises when I walk by them, or fart/burp on purpose in front of me and growl. Classic. Go to the crappiest part of your town/ward here with a nice suit on, smile, a pretty girl and watch how many guys wanna secretly want to kill you at the conbini, bar, the street... 20-80 age male applies. I use the "How you doing line?"... classic.

    Seems like a 27 year man old behind a counter should be able to dodge a 54 year old with a knife. He even had the "guys like you should die" warning.
