According to Asahi TV 65438+February 5, a 23-year-old male graduate student in Aichi Prefecture was arrested for cutting 35cm off a 40-year-old woman's hair on the tram. When the man confessed his motive, he said frankly, "In order to sell money."
According to reports, the arrested Yoshida Hiroshi is also a graduate student in Miyamiya City, Aichi Prefecture. At about 8 am on the day of the incident, the suspect secretly cut off the victim's (40-year-old, ordinary member) 35 cm long hair from behind with scissors in the Nagoya Railway tram and was caught on the spot.
Yoshida Hiroshi also said that he intends to sell things online for money. Online quotations in Japan also show that the price is about 5,000 yen to 30,000 yen (about 300 to 1800) depending on the length and weight of hair.
The report also said that since May last year, there have been 30 incidents in which women's hair was cut on the Nagoya Railway and Metro in Aichi Prefecture.
