A male teacher was confronted by a woman brandishing a knife at a school in Nagareyama, Chiba Prefecture, on Tuesday morning.

According to police, the incident occurred at around 6:45 a.m. at Tokiwamatsu Junior High School. Fuji TV reported that the teacher was in a science lab on the second floor and heard a noise outside. When he went out of the the room, he saw a woman coming up the stairs, brandishing a knife. However, he threw a mirror at her and she turned around, went back down the stairs and ran out of the building.

No one was hurt in the incident. The woman is described as being in her 20s, about 150-160 cms tall and of medium build. She was wearing a black top and blue pants, and carrying a black rucksack.

Heaven hath no rage like love to hatred turned. Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned

Maybe she saw her reflection and she scampered off back to the cave she once crawled!

Shogun36 and WilliB, I currently work at an elementary and junior high shool in Japan and my best guess is that he threw one of those mirrors that are hung up around the schools. The schools I'm at have mirrors hung up directly across the stairs to see who is going up and down.

It isn't likely that chairs would be found in the hallways.

He threw a mirror at her? What was he doing carrying mirror around?

What a weapon of choice. Why did he even have a throwable mirror on hand? Was he checking out his hair?

The better choice would have been one of them public school chairs. Those things are heavy, hurt, and are indestructible.

Moral of the story is "Don't bring a knife to a mirror fight!"
