Tokyo, 31 March, /AJMEDIA
A 45-year-old man was arrested Wednesday after crashing his car into the Foreign Ministry building in Tokyo, police said.
The car hit a pillar near the front entrance of the ministry at around 6:30 p.m. The police arrested the man at the scene on suspicion of trespassing and damaging a structure.
After the collision, the man exited the vehicle and yelled repeatedly, “I had something to talk about with the Foreign Ministry,” according to a Kyodo News reporter who witnessed the incident.
Security officers at the ministry ordered the man, a self-claimed Tokyo resident, to lie face down on the ground and pinned him down with a two-pronged weapon, the reporter said.
