Police in Osaka are looking for three men who assaulted and robbed another man outside an izakaya (Japanese pub) early Saturday morning.
According to police, the incident occurred at around 3:30 a.m. in Chuo Ward, Kyodo News reported. Police said the 30-year-old victim had been drinking at the same izakaya as his attackers.
Witnesses said the man got into an argument with the other three and they all went outside. The victim called 110 and told police the three men, whom he said he did not know, punched and kicked him and then stole his wallet containing about 30,000 yen.

This is awful and that’s a busy area. Hope the cops catch these thugs quickly before they commit more crimes and maybe escalate to more serious crimes.

Just more drunken violence in Japan. Nothing new or unusual here.

An isolated case. Where I come from avoid pubs and clubs at closing time. Especially car parks and alleyways.
at 3:30am, drinking, three on one, they didn’t need violence. Just tell him to sit, give his wallet and walk away.
people are too stressed. ¥30000 is one months dog food. Worth a beating?

Tokyo Living. Did you read the article? It was hardly a fight. The man was assaulted and robbed by three other males. Your comments would not be of any reassurance to the victim or other victims of crime in Japan.
