A sixteen year old Japanese male has been stabbed in Gifu, Japan by his friend’s neighbor after he was told to keep it down while having a gaming session with his friends late at night, here are the details.

Chunchi Web (which is a Japanese news website) has reported that the young man who has been stabbed is okay, as he only suffered a minor injury to the head.

The young male was up late at night playing games at a friend’s house when the stabbing occurred. The alleged perpetrator, 38 year-old Shigetaka Ishimoto previously warned the teens to be quiet and not to play games late at night. According to the report, Shigetaka Ishimoto also complained to the police that the teens were being noisy earlier that day and seemed intoxicated at the time.

At roughly 2:10 in the morning, Ishimoto had enough and charged into the house where the teens were busy playing games. Afterwards, the suspect allegedly found a knife in their home and stabbed the victim in the head. Thankfully, the teen is okay. There is no information at the moment on which game was played and if it was the gaming banter or the actual game sound that led to the attacker “snapping”.

The suspect claims that he did not use a knife, as the translation reads: "I do not swing Nante kitchen knife". Furthermore, the suspect is under investigation on suspicion of burgaly and of course entering a premis without permission.

We all know how intense gaming can get as tempers flare and voices get louder as the night progresses. Although it can be irritating, that is no reason for someone to go out and stab another person.
