A 61-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of indecent behavior for urinating at a koban (police box) in Hiroshima on Saturday.
According to the police, the man urinated on the ground outside the police box in Naka Ward at around 9:45 p.m. Saturday, broadcaster TBS reported.
Police quoted the man as saying “I couldn't make it to a toilet in time."
The man told police he had been heavily drinking prior to the incident.

Thank God JT was here to report this incident. We must all take appropriate action.

Usually it’s the police who say they have nothing to go on.

What's the big deal - I see old men urinating on the streets all the time in Japan, including truck dirvers on busy roads.

Would have it been better inside the box ? There must be a toilet inside.

Some news days JT! This is desperate even by your standards.

Seriously though, when you've gotta go in Japan, the options are few.

he could’ve gone to literally any other curb and do it, he just so happened to pick right in front of the Koban.
Genius at work.

If you ask nicely, and put on a desperate expression, cops will let you use the toilet inside the Koban. (Yes, they have them.) I say this from personal experience.

At least he admitted he was hammered. Still, BIG DUMMY.

I'm only surprised there were actually police in the station. I've been here decades, and I've seen police in the local koban ONCE. I've found wallets and turned them in and had to do it with letters or use the phone in the koban, then go to another station to deal with the police in person because they wouldn't come.
