The police of Hokkaido, Japn, arrested on August 10 at 11:00 p.m. (local time, not Spanish) a 56-year-old man who had attacked another by grabbing his chest and breaking the rear-view mirror of his vehicle. The reason? An argument while they played Pokmon GO.
Apparently both are players of Pokmon GO for two years; in fact they met there, playing together to hunt virtual monsters through the streets of the Japanese city. It was precisely the game that provoked the aggressive attitude of one of them towards the other, since according to the aggressor his partner had taken away the gym, costing you game resources.
That was what infuriated this player from Pokmon GO and what led him to attack his friend, who he grabbed by the chest and ended up damaging the rearview mirror of his car, vehicle in which they had gone together to the location of the gym. The charges this person faces are assault and damage to property.
