A story has been reported that an overseas tourist walking on the streets of Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan, was suddenly bitten by a rat. The tourist, who said he suffered a leg injury, released photos of blood on the floor (due to the accident).

According to Japanese local media and social media (SNS) on the 10th, a traveler from Dubai explained the situation on his Instagram on the 9th, saying, “It was an accident during a trip to Tokyo.”

“While walking peacefully to the hotel, I suddenly felt a ‘chopping’ feeling,” he wrote. “When I looked down, a rat bit my foot and blood was pouring on the road.” “The Tokyo gangster (rat) ruined my day,” he said.

The released video shows a rat appearing in the middle of a crowded street, kicking a surprised citizen and blood around the victim’s feet.

The traveler explained, “I can’t say Tokyo is clean,” adding, “I was bitten by a mouse at 3 a.m. and had this accident while having a good time.”

He then immediately called an ambulance and was taken to a hospital, but he said, “It was difficult to communicate because most of the medical staff did not speak English,” adding, “The emergency room doctor looked surprised when he saw the wound.” He returned home about an hour after receiving antibiotics and explained, “It was a crazy experience.”

Such stories spread rapidly around Japanese SNS and overseas online communities. Some netizens who saw this said, “Tokyo is known as a sanitary city, but the problem of garbage and rats around tourist destinations has been steadily raised.”

Earlier, Japanese media also reported a series of reports of rats appearing due to an increase in food waste in downtown Tokyo, including Shinjuku and Shibuya.
