TOKYO (Reuters) – Japanese police have arrested a 20-year-old man who attacked and robbed two people after they<\/p>\n

stared at his Winnie-the-Pooh costume, officials said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Masayuki Ishikawa was hanging out on a Tokyo street corner after midnight last month while wearing the cuddly costume, accompanied by two friends dressed as a mouse and a panther, when he took offence at being stared at, police said.<\/p>\n

“It’s uncommon to see people dressed up like this, so the victims were watching them. Then the perpetrator came up<\/p>\n

and said ‘What are you staring at?'” a police spokesman said.<\/p>\n

Ishikawa and his friends beat up the two victims and stole $160 from them, the spokesman said, adding the group had apparently donned the unusual garb because they had run out of clean clothes.<\/p>\n
