A 16-year-old girl was attacked by a man with a hammer at JR Kameido Station in Tokyo on Monday.
According to police, the girl went into the toilet at the station in Koto Ward just after noon. The assailant suddenly ran in and hit her with a hammer, Fuji TV reported. The suspect then fled by exiting from the ticket gates.
The girl was taken to hospital with a head injury but her life is in no danger, police said.
The suspect was described as being in his 30s, about 160 cm tall. The girl said he was wearing navy work clothes and had a navy towel wrapped around the top of his head. She said she could see his face, but added she did not know the man.
Police said they are currently analyzing station and street surveillance footage to track down the whereabouts of the runaway suspect.

I can’t possibly imagine what reason their could be for a grown man to hit a 16 year old stranger on the head with hammer - in the women’s bathroom - during the middle of the day.

Another psycho flipped his lid. The choice of victim says alot. A hammer ay. Not something you usually carry around now that is it.

Maybe he thought that she was the nail that was sticking up? Weirdo.

I'm not hopeful they'll try very hard to find this guy. These kind of lunatics are a huge threat to public safety.

There are plenty of cowardly psychos ready to attack those who will not and cannot fight back. I hope she recovers and is able to identify the coward.
