Japanese media reported on February 10 that Yasuhiro Kuwabara, 40, had been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after allegedly kicking the Vietnamese worker in the head from behind as the victim was descending a staircase at a construction site in Fukuoka city.
The victim fell down the stairs, suffering a brain concussion that required hospitalisation. He has been discharged but still needs ongoing medical monitoring.
