According to Japanese media STV News, Kushiro Police in Hokkaido said on the 6th that they arrested a 25-year-old Chinese man living in Tokyo on charges of assault.
The man is accused of punching a 26-year-old male employee in the shoulder at a hotel in Akan, Kushiro City, where he was staying for sightseeing with several acquaintances at around 8:50 a.m. on the 4th.
According to the police, the man asked the hotel to sit in a good seat with a view of the river at breakfast the previous day, but was rejected because he could not make a reservation.
The angry man reportedly assaulted the employee when he was unable to sit in the seat he wanted at breakfast on the 4th.
Upon receiving the report, police arrested the man near Kushiro Airport.
During the investigation, the man denied the allegations, saying "I didn't hit him, I just pushed him", but he was detained after the hotel CCTV showed the assault. Police are investigating the motive and circumstances of the beating.
