How fast-acting fishermen swarmed Kishida attacker – Times of India

Wakayama (Japan): As soon as Tsutomu Konishi noticed an object that flew over his head and landed near PM Fumio Kishida at a campaign event at this fishing port, he and a group of other fishermen swarmed the man who officials later identified as a suspect in the attack.
As a security officer covered the object with a bullet proof briefcase, one of the fishermen grabbed the man’s neck from behind, another pushed his head down, and Konishi latched onto his leg. They were holding the man as police officers pulled him to the ground. A few moments later Saturday there was an explosion, the crowd fleeing in panic as officers dragged away the suspect, a man wearing a silver backpack.
The team effort by the fishermen in this close-knit community has created a buzz on Japan’s social media, prompting many to wonder if they were plainclothes police officers. Perfect security may be difficult, but “at a time when Japan’s serving PM was visiting, perhaps we may have needed a metal detector,” Konishi said. Police arrested 24-year-old Ryuji Nakamura on suspicion of throwing a metal tube explosive at Kishida.
