Police in Kurashiki, Okayama Prefecture, have arrested a 53-year-old man on suspicion of assaulting a 25-year-old woman after they were involved in a traffic accident last month.
According to police, the incident occurred at around 7:20 a.m. on May 9. Local media reported that Hiroyuki Fujimura, a local government employee, grabbed the woman by both shoulders and shook her, pinning her right leg between the open door and body of her car. The woman suffered an injured knee.
Police said Fujimura has admitted grabbing the woman’s shoulders but denied injuring her.
Police said the incident occurred after the woman's car rear-ended Fujimura's car.

Need some anger management buddy. Being late to your pathetic job is not a big deal.

He will win the accident 100-0 her fault, but will likely lose more for the assault. Stupid guy. He had an easy pay day.

What a stupid unecessary response to an obvious accident not of his doing. Presume he was charged with assault.

From a civil matter to a criminal one in seconds…

@Redemption Why would you blame the guy saying he needs anger management perhaps you could take some thinking logic classes. The article says the guy was hit from behind, perhaps she was putting on her make up and not paying attention or on her phone. Hitting some one from behind clearly makes you at fault. And you said "Being late to your pathetic job is not a big deal". Perhaps she was late for her job, remember she rammed him. The only thing he did wrong was put hands on her. He has every right to be angry.

Yes. That's called assault.

Grabbing people shoulders never meant to hurt anyone. It was just an incident.
At the same time, maybe he was injured.
All in all, an everyday happening.
Anyway, it does not need to go on national news for such pitiful event.
If I fight with my sister or brother, can I get national attention ?
