Police arrest knife-wielding man after high-speed chase ends in crash
FUKUSHIMA —
Police said Sunday they arrested a knife-wielding man on suspicion of violating the Sword and Firearms Control Law after his car crashed into a patrol car following a high-speed chase in Minami-aizu city, Fukushima Prefecture.
According to police, the driver of the car, 23-year-old Teppei Waritani, had allegedly used a knife to threaten the male employee of a sex shop in Utsunomiya. He also stole the employee’s mobile phone. The employee alerted police and gave them a description of Waritani’s car.
The high-speed chase ended when Waritani turned into a dead-end and then suddenly did a U-turn and rammed an oncoming police car.

What a freak. I'm almost morbidly interested in what the argument might have entailed. Glad no one was seriously injured!
