The suspect was arrested under the Sexual Harassment Prevention Act and brought to Taipei’s Datong Precinct police station, where he reportedly continued to down alcohol and rant in English for four hours, shouting “F**k you Japan!” and “F**k you Korea!”
The Foreign Affairs Police team was brought in to help translate and the American Institute in Taiwan has been notified.
Five hours after his arrest, the man was still too inebriated to make a written statement, according to the police.
