The woman reportedly became agitated after being denied the purchase of nearly all of the venue\u2019s exclusive badges due to purchase limits. After arguing with a 45-year-old staff member, she allegedly struck her with her elbow and rammed into her twice. Another staff member witnessed the incident and called police, who arrested the suspect for assault. The woman, a company employee residing in Fukuoka\u2019s Nishi Ward, denies the charges, claiming she only \u201cstumbled and made contact.\u201d <\/span><b>Source: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/newsdig.tbs.co.jp\/articles\/rkb\/1887106?display=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RKB<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-170776\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/fnn_anime-theft_2025_WEB.jpg?resize=1400%2C933&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Woman Arrested After Assault at Anime Exhibit\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/fnn_anime-theft_2025_WEB.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/fnn_anime-theft_2025_WEB.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/fnn_anime-theft_2025_WEB.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/fnn_anime-theft_2025_WEB.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
