Police in Tokyo have arrested a 22-year-old woman on suspicion of attempted murder after she allegedly stabbed her boyfriend in the head at his apartment in Tokyo.
According to police, Erika Otsuka, whose occupation and address are unknown, is accused of stabbing her boyfriend at his apartment in Tokyo’s Katsushika Ward at around 5 a.m. on Tuesday, Fuji TV reported. The victim, a company employee, reportedly fled his residence and ran to a police box roughly 70 meters away. Police went to the apartment where they apprehended Otsuka.
Police said Otsuka has denied the charge and quoted her as saying she did not have any intent to kill. Police said Otsuka was intoxicated at the time.
Her boyfriend was taken to hospital where doctors said his wounds will take about three months to recover from.
Witnesses told reporters they had seen the couple arguing outside the apartment several times over the past few months.

So exactly what were your intentions, Ms. Otsuka, when you stabbed your boyfriend in the head?
Do the hustle
You have to wonder what he did to her to make her stab him in the head.

Whatever he did, short of trying to kill her or cause other physical harm, she was not justified stabbing him in the HEAD.

How do you get stabbed in the head, and not be dead?

"How do you get stabbed in the head, and not be dead?"
While being stabbed in the side of the head would without doubt be painful I don't imagine it would be fatal unless the skull was penetrated.

I can't count the number of times I've had Japanese woman charge at me with a knife when drunk. Maybe it's a cultural thing?

guessing he did something really bad, she's probably a hero and you'll are just female bashing

You're guessing but we know for sure SHE did something really bad.

I think "slashed" would have been a better verb here. Stab suggests deeper penetration, more than just the skin. Anyone who has been stabbed in the head would be very lucky to be alive.

A girlfriend from hell.... from the info in the article, he should have split from her long ago

They are both young. Young people do not have sufficient experience or accumulated wisdom to make the best choices in relationships. I'm sure at the start of their relationship she was pleasing and energetic, and he did not notice enough clues to realize she had a violent tendency. Now that he has survived, he has gained understanding and will be more selective in his future partners.

According to what she told the police, he was having an affair with someone else. She ran after him to the police box, but said she did not intend to kill him.
In previous arguments outside the apartment, neighbors reported seeing her hitting him.
