Man beaten while walking on Tokyo street

Sounds like a punishment beating by a member of a certain organisation... certainly not a mugging or robbery. Hope the old chap recovers quickly and that they catch this piece of scum

@Thunderbird2, you are bloody genius. Thank you for your insight.

That was sarcasm, by the way.

This happened in my neighbourhood, actually. The area was swarming with police, but nobody knows anything about this as of yet. I will be looking over my shoulder anyway.

white helmet and blue work clothes? A cop???

Where in Minato-ku?

What a freak. Another one who lacks of both attention and love.

Thank you for being so kind and generous, that's very big of you. (ditto sarcasm)

Hope the chap pulls through... I can't imagine what it's like to be clubbed, terrifying as well as painful no doubt.

What a cowardly act. Why don't these whacks pick a fight with someone their own size/age? It's always the elderly, women and children who are victimized.

And if an when they catch the guy he'll probably say "I just wanted to see what it was like to beat someone with a metal pipe".

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT .....

" Where in Minato-ku? "

Close to Gotemba, I understand.

Where in Minato-ku?

ANN News shows that it happened behind the Cope Takanawa (コープ高輪) building (4-6-8 Takanawa, Minato-ku), next to the parking stalls. It's about 300m directly west of Shinagawa Station's Takanobu entrance.
