American tourist arrested in Japan for pushing sex worker down stairs.

So, check this out: a **69-year-old American retiree**, living it up in Thailand, thought it was a good idea to hit a **fuzoku** establishment in Sapporo, Japan. Now, let me break this down. Fuzoku is a complex term that mixes entertainment and some, uh, adult fun, but it’s not a brothel. You can't just roll in and ask for anything your heart desires—there are rules. But this guy must’ve missed the memo because he started requesting services that the staff clearly don’t allow.

When a 39-year-old employee tried to remind him of the house rules, the old dude got mad and, I’m talking about a full-on **physical altercation** where he knocked the staff member down a flight of stairs! The poor guy ended up with some serious injuries and this customer fled the scene, but the cops tracked him down at a ski resort three hours away and arrested him. Now, our man is fighting some charges, but this is a good lesson: just because you're on vacation, doesn’t mean you can break the rules. Respect the local customs, or you might find yourself in a whole world of trouble.
