Tokyo - A man in Japan who hid in a drain for
five hours, allegedly to snap photos up
women's skirts, was given away when passers-
by spotted his hair sticking out of a grate,
police and reports said.


Yasuomi Hirai, 28, allegedly squeezed himself
in a section of a gutter 28 centimetres wide,
with his head under a piece of iron grating, a
police spokesman said Wednesday.


"His hair got caught at the edge of the grate,
which drew the attention of some
pedestrians," the spokesman with the Hyogo
prefectural police in Kobe told AFP.
The alleged offence took place in the port city
August, but police said that Hirai's arrest on
Monday came after a lengthy investigation.


Police did not elaborate but the Sports Hochi
tabloid reported Tuesday that Hirai kept
himself in the small space for about five
hours, holding a smart phone to take photos
from under the grate.


Local reports said it was not the first time
Hirai has been arrested for the same offence,
which violated a local ordinance preventing
nuisance acts.


He was nabbed two years ago after squeezing
himself into a gutter allegedly for the same
purpose, Sports Hochi said.
Hirai reportedly told police at the time that he
wanted to be reborn as "part of pavement in
the next life."
Peculiar offences involving the harassment of
women and girls are frequently reported in
Japan.

In 2012, several high school girls from a small
neighbourhood reported to police that they
were tackled by a sock-stealing thief.
