A would-be Japanese bank robber asked staff how he should carry out the crime before meekly obeying a request to leave and then accidentally stabbing himself in the leg with a knife he was carrying. The 58-year-old unemployed man went into a branch of the Saitama Resona Bank in the town of Kumagaya, north of Tokyo, on Wednesday, intending to rob it, a police spokesman said. According to local media reports the man first asked a bank teller, "Any idea how you rob a bank?" The teller alerted another member of staff, who asked the man to leave. "He left quietly when asked to," the police spokesman said. However, the staff member escorting the man out of the bank noticed the knife sticking out of his pocket and a bloodstain on his trousers. Police arrested the man for illegal possession of a weapon. "He didn't brandish the knife at anyone ... but he injured himself in the leg," the police spokesman said.   (Agencies)

一名日本男子在准备抢银行前居然向职员询问该如何进行抢劫，之后，又乖乖地服从要求离开银行，还出人意料地拿出随身携带的刀刺伤了自己的腿。 据警方发言人介绍，周三，这位58岁的失业男子走进位于东京北部熊谷镇的崎玉里索纳银行支行，企图实施抢劫。 据当地媒体报道，这名男子首先向一位银行出纳询问：“知不知道该怎么抢银行？”这位出纳很警惕地将这一情况告诉了另一名职员，这名职员随即让此男子离开。 警方发言人说：“银行职员让他离开，他就安静地离开了。” 然而，送他出去的银行职员发现他的口袋里露出一把刀，而且他的裤子上还有血迹。 随后，警方以非法私藏凶器为由逮捕了该男子。 警方发言人说：“他没有将匕首指向任何人，但是他刺伤了自己的腿。” (英语点津姗姗编辑)
