From ZAKZAK:

At around 2am on June 6 in Ohashi 1chome, Okayama, 3 or 4 men forced a company worker (25) into their car while he was with a woman he met on an internet dating site. The men beat the man on the head while the car was moving, taking 5,000 yen and his mobile phone, and freed him an hour later on a city street 3 or 4 km from where he was kidnapped.

The man sustained a broken nose which will take 3 weeks to heal. Okayama’s East Precinct is investigating the incident as a robbery and assault.

According to reports, the men threatened the man before kidnapping him, saying, “What are you doing with my woman?!” They consider it a strong possibility that the woman was friends with the men. The men were all 18-20 years old.
