Its weird that we keeping hearing about folks being arrested for peeing in public, and even a police sergeant was arrested Monday on a charge of public indecency after he was caught urinating on the platform at JR Minami-Senju station in Tokyo.
According to police, the officer, who is in his 50s, was caught peeing on a pole on the station’s platform at about 10 p.m. on Sunday night. He was on his way home from a night out drinking with his dorm mates.
The sergeant told investigators had felt the urge to urinate at the station before, Mikawashima, and got off at Minami-Senju to “relieve himself.”
“I had planned to go to the restroom but just couldn’t hold it,” he was quoted as saying.
Commuters saw the man do the deed and alerted station officials.

I thought train stations would usually have toilets? I wonder would he still have been arrested if he couldn’t hold it in and urinated in his pants instead =P
all stations do have toilet but usually they’re located quite far away from the platform, there’re still some walking distance to it esp Tokyo Metro.
