Two Japanese tourists were injured after being attacked by a knife-wielding transvestite prostitute.
Kazanari Ito, 37, suffered a long slash wound to the chest and a cut elbow. His friend Hinnoshi Imuta, 28, sustained undisclosed minor injuries.
Ito told police he and Imuta were drinking in a Walking Street pub when an “attractive” ladyboy, around age 30, joined them for a drink. The Japanese duo then tried to excuse themselves, saying they planned to get a message.
The transvestite propositioned the pair with offers of a massage. The tourists weren’t interested in any gender-bending extras and declined. Apparently this angered the ladyboy, who slashed them with a knife, Ito said.
Police believe this transvestite is the one that knifed two Japanese tourists on Walking Street.
