It appears as if a 38-year-old man may have picked the wrong target when he apparently forced a 15-year-old girl into his car and took her out into the woods. Though the details of what exactly happened still are not completely clear yet, the man apparently abducted the girl for nefarious purposes, and the girl ended up fatally stabbing him with an ice pick that was in his car.

Police found the 38-year-old victim, Hiroki Matsushita, lying dead on a road in Shimada at about 1 p.m. on Tuesday, with stab wounds to his chest and stomach.

A 15-year-old girl in the area admitted having stabbed Matsushita. Police said there was a possibility the girl, who had sustained serious stomach injuries, had been forcibly taken to the area by Matsushita. They are waiting for her to recover before questioning her further over the incident.

Investigators found an ice pick and other weapons believed to have been used in the attack in the car.

Based on the teenager’s statements, police said there was a possibility the teen had been forced into Matsushita’s vehicle near the bank of the Abe River in Shizuoka after parting with her friends on Monday evening, and was taken to the scene by Matsushita.

The two apparently got into an argument near the scene of the attack, and the girl apparently stabbed Matsushita with weapons inside the vehicle.

Police have determined that the man killed by the girl had a record for adbucting young girls.

Local police view the arrest as evidence that supports the credibility of the 15-year-old girl’s claims that he forced her into his car after threatening her with an ice pick and drove her around Shizuoka Prefecture with her hands tied.

“I stabbed him because I thought he would murder me,” she was quoted as telling investigators.

The 38-year-old man was arrested in June 1992 after he threatened a high school girl in Hanno with a knife, forced her into a light truck. He then drove her around for three days. During her captivity, he treated her violently, leaving her with injuries that took one week to heal.

This time around the guy picked the wrong member of the weaker sex to mess with.

In the latest incident, the girl, an assistant beautician, claims that the man threatened her with an ice pick on a bank of the Abe River in Shizuoka on Monday night, and forced her into his car, according to local police. The man then drove her around Shimada. During her captivity, he stabbed her with the ice pick.

Fearing for her life, the girl reacted by fatally stabbing the man and asked a passer-by for help. Investigators believe she stabbed her abductor in a bid to escape. The girl is currently in hospital receiving treatment for her stab wounds.
