Man arrested for holding on to last train in Kobe

There really should be a rule on train stations to allow passengers to (at least) sober up before allowing them to ride

Another man baby. I wanna go home.....

Well as strange as this story is...wait ... no such thing as a strange story in Japan, if it was indeed the LAST TRAIN, you have to kinda feel sorry for the guy, he just wanted to go home .

"he refused to let go of a door on the night's last train as it was departing."

Holding on Is very hard to do, when the train is going, Hangin on the outside cause its the last train. Holding on Is very hard to do when a train is moving Ha-ha-ha Doo doo doo doo..Now betcha lie awake nights and never rest a bit, worrying about the new predicament, Who are you kidding, But still the bottom line is you got to deal with that decision, Holding on Is very hard to do, when the train is going, was it worth it?

Wow, what a loser. 40 years old and can't hold his drink enough not to do these silly things.

Pathetic

He just should taken a taxi, but beware those last train taxis have been known to take advantage of the situation if they can. Case in point, many many moons ago, me and 3 friends missed the last train so we went to the long que taxi stand. The driver told us he would charge us all concurrently for the same fare. We said WTF, and said no thanks, and waited for a different taxi.

I'm sure this wasn't the first time this happened. I have seen people diving through doors to get on the last train.

How did I know it was going to be a drunkard. This country and its alcoholics.

I can't quite picture what happened. Was he holding the door open?

The guy must consider Jail... Home.

Poor guy, I know the feeling, having been stranded myself a few times.

Mind you, last train at 1am, that's pretty late compared with where I live.

This is actually news????

This is actually news????

Relatively inconsequential in the pantheon of criminality. More of a human interest story. Yet it was a crime and a rather interesting one at that. Trying to picture in my head what this single minded drunk guys adventure must have looked like and can only come up with some Kato and Ken skit.
