A police officer has been arrested for allegedly urinating from a Tokyo train platform. "I could not hold it any more, so I got off a train and urinated. I am sorry," the Asakusa Police Station sergeant was quoted as saying.

Separately, an Air Self-Defense Force sergeant was arrested Sunday night on suspicion of being naked in front of a 20-year-old woman, police said. "I was looking for sexual stimulation," ASDF Sgt. Takumi Akatsuka, 24, was quoted as saying.
