Man arrested for murder threat at non-existent train station

In Tokyo, a foolish man thought he could make a mass-murder threat with impunity by announcing he'd do it at a train station that doesn't exist. Much to his surprise, he was arrested anyway.

"I'll show you how to avoid being arrested after threatening to launch an attack," the message read. "At 9 p.m. today, I'll murder many people at Ueno Station on the Saikyo Line."

As the JR Saikyo Line does not go through Ueno, police officers were on alert at other platforms at Ueno Station.
