Police in Tokyo said Thursday they have arrested an unemployed 20-year-old man on a charge of forcible obstruction of business after he posted a message on the 2channel online bullet board, in which he said a bomb was set to go off at Shibuya Station in Tokyo.
The message, which was posted late on the night of April 3, prompted police to search the station but no explosive devices were found, Fuji TV reported.
According to police, the suspect, Hikaru Otaka, who lives in Hitachiota, Ibaraki Prefecture, has admitted to the charge. Police quoted Otaka as saying he posted the message because he was "pissed off" that day.
