A Japanese policeman stabbed himself just to take some days off from the hectic duties. The officer, distressed by long working hours following a major earthquake, stabbed himself and claimed that he was attacked by a stranger. He took this effort just to take few days off from the work. He used a fruit knife to wound his stomach at his apartment on 23 May in the coastal city of Kanazawa. The officer was assigned to a section handling disaster management after a 6.9-magnitude quake hit the area on March 25, killing one person and injuring more than 200. Nearly 900 buildings were damaged in the quake. The officer later confessed that he was busy every day in coping with the disaster and didn't feel like going to work. Japanese Police are investigating the case as a minor offense. The officer was released from hospital after two days and was offered no more days off! Share & Bookmark
