Hirofumi Fukuda learned yesterday that you do not screw with the Osaka Police. Wanted for allegedly assaulting some police officers earlier this week, his car was spotted driving recklessly through Central Osaka. Once police realized who it was they put a good chunk of the police force into action: 2,240 officers, 460 cars and a police helicopter in the two-hour chase. The pursuit ended when his Toyota Ceslior took a nose dive into a bridge column. Fukuda sustained light injuries during the crash and likely severe injuries on the way to the hospital.
