Around 20 people were injured at a luxury shopping complex in central Tokyo on May 25 after a man sprayed a substance inside, police and fire department officials said.
Tokyo police spokesman Yusuke Koide told AFP that a man sprayed a substance at an ATM on the ground floor of the building, while a local fire department official said "around 20 people were injured" after a report of a "smell".
Roads around the building in the shopping district of Ginza, where the mall is located, were blocked off following the incident, and fire trucks lined the street.
