Man attacks customer with key in convenience store

TOKYO —

Police in Tokyo’s Kita Ward said Saturday they are searching for a man who hit a customer with a key in a convenience store.

The victim, a male in his 20s, was standing in the convenience store reading a magazine at around 1:30 p.m. on Friday, when the seemingly unprovoked attack occurred, TBS reported. CCTV camera footage showed the assailant walk into the store and hit the victim on the back of the head with a key he was holding in his fist.

The assailant then left the store, followed by the victim, and fled the scene on a bicycle. Police said they are using the store’s CCTV footage to try and identify the assailant and the victim.
