A 51-year-old part-time Saga City government employee has been arrested on suspicion of assaulting and threatening to kill his former subordinate, a man in his 40s, in a car parking lot.
According to police, the incident occurred just past 8 a.m. on Dec 14. The suspect, Masaki Taniguchi, allegedly punched the victim in the face multiple times and threatened to kill him for blocking his calls, Fuji TV reported.
Taniguchi has been working as a part-time employee on a one-year contract at Saga City Hall. He was previously a permanent worker until March of this year.
Police said Taniguchi has denied the charge and quoted him as saying, “I did not use violence or threaten to kill him.”

Psycho much?
The brutha isn't your wife or girlfriend, who cares if he blocks your calls. Get over it.
And it's not rocket science on why he blocked them calls.
Good one Masaki. Enjoy prison, more guys you can fight with in there.

One guy is the other's subordinate, so it does matter. If you had a subordinate at work who blocked your calls, would you be ok with it? The guy's violent behavior towards his subordinate is of course unacceptable, but blocking your boss' calls is too.

Taniguchi has denied the charge and quoted him as saying, “I did not use violence or threaten to kill him.” I don't recall anything I was drunk!

Should have started with "I was drunk and don't remember."
