A 32-year-old unemployed man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after he stabbed a 53-year-old store manager in Nagoya.
According to police, the incident occurred on July 10. Nagoya Broadcasting Network reported that the man was chasing his girlfriend in a MaxValu store in Mizuho Ward, waving a knife.
A customer who was in the store at the time said, "She was screaming 'Help me!' for about a minute, and I wondered what was going on."
The suspect slashed the male store manager who tried to stop him, in the lower back. Police said the injury was not life-threatening.
Another employee called police and the suspect was taken into custody.

Wasn’t it obvious what was going on?

Too bad, shouldn't interfere with people business in the first place.

you’re minding your own business shopping and all of a sudden you hear someone screaming somewhere in the store. It seems that you can immediately sense that a person is getting attacked with a knife from her boyfriend. Well, not everyone has spider senses that tingle for them to know how obvious things are.

If I hear a woman calling loudly for help, I would go and help, as simple.
Especially in a store.

the comment wasn’t about whether or not to go and help her. It’s about understanding the victim’s situation, in this case: a knife attack, just by screaming.

Can imagine being in that store and witnessing this….and then do NOTHING.
Yup, you’re in Japan

Extremely difficult sentence for some people to understand what that means.

So you hear screaming from a woman needing obviously help for a minute and only a store manager who was maybe caring more for his business than helping intervenes ?
Yep, Japan I confirm.
Just through anything at your hands on somebody making knife attacks on anyone.
