Man arrested in Tokyo on suspicion of hitting 11 people with car, killing one

A man driving a stolen car struck 11 people in Tokyo on Monday, killing one man in his 80s on a pedestrian walkway, police said.

A spokesman at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department did not give the condition of the other people who were hit.

The driver, a 37-year-old man, was arrested on suspicion of stealing the vehicle from a parking lot of a business after fleeing from the scene, police said.

Other charges, such as hit-and-run, weren’t immediately announced.

Japanese media reports said the stolen vehicle was a used car at a dealership but police declined to comment on those reports.

Other details were not immediately available. Monday was a national holiday in Japan.
