Police in Kushiro, Hokkaido, have arrested a 59-year-old unemployed man on suspicion of assaulting his younger sister’s 64-year-old boyfriend at the house where they all lived.

According to police, the incident occurred at around 11 p.m. Friday at the house which is owned by the victim, Hokkaido Broadcasting Corp reported.  Police said they received a call from the victim’s girlfriend in which she said her older brother was beating up her boyfriend after they had gotten into an argument.

Police said the suspect has admitted punching the victim about the head and face. The assault caused internal bleeding and lacerations that will take about three weeks to heal, police quoted doctors as saying.

Police said they are questioning the suspect and his sister on what the argument was about that led to the altercation.

Beating up the landlord. Not very clever if you want a roof over your head.

Well, he seems like a nasty piece of work to me. Needs some anger management therapy at the very least. Wouldn’t be at all surprised if he was intoxicated. That’s usually what triggers these things in Jalan you see.

Just a protective big brother doing the right thing and keeping the wolf away from his fresh maiden younger sibling. You are too old to be dating my younger (58) sister!

Nice show of gratitude to the guy letting him live in his house.

Perhaps the boyfriend was asking for a little rent, or maybe for the brother to pick up the slack on his share of chores, or to stop drinking all of his beer, or some other bad roommate behavior.

Freeloaders hate being called out on their freeloading.

Not in any way excusing the assault, but if you haven't been to Kushiro before, you don't know just what sort of place it is.

It's an old port city on the outer edges of nowhere.

There's not much to do for fun except drink (and if you're the type, play ice hockey)

The weather typically sucks year-round.

And it's just an overall dull worn-down place that might drive anyone koo-koo.

Lake Akan, which is beautiful, isn't far away. But other than that, Kushiro is just ......

Why is everyone blaming the man immediately without knowing much. His living there doesn’t indicate he is a slave. The article doesn’t provide information on what the argument was.
