On Friday (17 May) evening, a husband was arrested for assaulting his wife using a banana peel. The man had reportedly been agitated after a neighbour parked on their property.
When he tried to confront his neighbour, his wife attempted to calm him down. But this resulted in him redirecting his anger onto her.
Police arrived shortly after, where the man admitted to the assault and was subsequently arrested.
At around 8:30pm on 17 May, police were alerted to the incident by the man’s wife. According to Asahi Shimbun, she told them that her husband was a verbally abusive alcoholic and that he had just hit her with a banana.

When the man said that he would be going over to complain, his wife attempted to stop him. This then caused him to turn his anger onto her and he hit her with a banana.
During the interrogation, he admitted that there is ‘no doubt’ he hit his wife in the head once with a banana. Livedoor News also reported that he added that such violence is ‘normal’ between a husband and wife.
However, police responded by saying that hitting someone with an object is assault, even if it was between a husband and wife – and even if it was with a banana peel.
