I have no idea why I find this so funny. Something to do with the words “umbrella” and “poke” I think.
TOKYO (Reuters) - A dissatisfied customer stabbed a Tokyo department store employee in the eye with an umbrella after trying out oxygen breathing equipment meant to revitalise the body, Japanese media said on Wednesday.
The woman, thought to be in her late 20s, complained to the 55-year-old assistant that the oxygen product had made her feel unwell, Kyodo news agency said.
She then stabbed the employee in the eye, seriously injuring her, and ran away, Kyodo said.
The victim is being treated in hospital and police are searching for the woman.
