A 65 year old man named Yuichi Sasaki was arrested on Thursday for assaulting his 73 year old neighbour with a wooden sword causing him a serious injury. The fight was caused over cats in Yorii, Saitama Prefecture. According to the police Yuichi Sasaki is believe to of accosted the victim on a path near their homes at dawn on November 13th. This lead to Saitama hitting him several times with a wooden sword.

The victim’s skull was fractured and the attack caused him grievous bodily harm. The police are treating the incident as a attempted murder. Sasaki was quoted by the police, saying he was angry that the victim’s cat has been fighting with a wild cat Sasaski had been feeding.

Sasaki told his neighbor “It’s because you let your cat out that these fights happen,” He also explained he wasn’t trying to kill his neighbor. What do you think of this story? It sounds crazy to me that a old man would attack his neighbor because of what his cat had been doing!
