TOKYO, Japan (CNN) — A mother and her 6-month-old girl escaped unhurt after she calmed down a knife-wielding robber with a glass of iced tea and a chat, Tokyo police said Wednesday. The 43-year-old man put away his knife and began to tell her how he lost money gambling and its effect on his life and family. The housewife handed the man about $100 (10,000 yen), ran outside, and called for help. |
