Female passenger simultaneously groped by two men on Tokyo subway train during morning rush hour

No sooner had we blogged an odd story about a bus driver trying to kiss his lone teenaged passenger in Tokushima, then along comes another peculiar tale of groping on the subway.

Two Chiba residents have been arrested by Tokyo police on suspicion of trying to grope a woman on the Tokyo subway during the morning rush hour.

The men — a 24-year-old Tokyo court assistant and a 39-year-old Mitsubishi Tokyo UFJ Bank employee — are accused of both groping the same woman on a subway train at around 8am on September 25th.

It is unknown if the two knew each other or how they came to launch their two-pronged attack (perhaps they had communicated online as some gropers are known to do), but they both deny the charges.

The incident apparently happened on the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line between Kiba and Monzen-Nakacho stations.

The victim was a female company employee in her twenties. The banker went for her chest while the court assistant had his wandering hands on her ass.

Another male passenger witnessed the alleged groping and together with the victim was able to hold onto the men until they could be handed over to the police.
