According to BBC News, a 40-year old man died following an incident at a train station in Osaka. According to witnesses, the man was accused by a 20-year-old student of groping her, which led to the man fleeing when the train reached a station. The unnamed man was brought to the ground by four fellow passengers, one of which was an off-duty police officer, and he later died in hospital.

Police in Tokyo have reported that there are more than 2,000 groping incidents a year on public transport, despite the introduction of women-only carriages and penalties for would-be gropers.

This all seems to be a case of Train Man gone too far.
