Upon arriving at Hakata Station, the tourist got off the train. However, the train attendant reported the incident to the police, who later identified and arrested the tourist.

During questioning, the woman denied the allegations, insisting that she did not intend to attack the train staff.

“My right hand only touched the station staff’s abdomen once. I had no intention of hitting her,” the woman claimed.

The case has drawn public attention, with some reports suggesting that the woman lashed out after being caught without the correct express ticket.
