The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating that after a girl student talks to the victim, there is a suspicion that another boy has stolen cash etc. from a total of five people by means of a fate.
Four men and women between the ages of 16 and 19 were arrested, including a 19-year-old unemployed boy living in Kita-ku, Tokyo, and a 16-year-old female student attending a part-time high school in Tokyo.
According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, at around 1 am on the 5th of last month, a man in his thirties was assaulted on the streets of Kabukicho, Shinjuku, Tokyo, causing serious injuries such as breaking his bones and robbing him of about 250,000 yen in cash. There is a suspicion of robbery injury.
It is believed that after the girl student spoke to the victim's man, the other three had a conversation and attacked the man.
Two of the four admitted the charges and two, including the female student, denied the investigation because a man rushed to a nearby police box and discovered the damage.
The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating that the four men are suspected of stealing cash from five men in a similar manner from the day of the incident to the next morning.
