A female employee at a so-called girls bar in the Shimbashi district in Tokyo's Minato Ward was stabbed to death Sunday.

Around 5:40 a.m., police received an emergency call from the bar reporting that its manager had captured a customer.

Officers from the Metropolitan Police Department's Atago police station arrived at the bar on the first floor of a multitenant building in Shimbashi to find the employee, Yuna Tanisawa, 18, stabbed in the neck by a male customer. Tanisawa, a resident of Edogawa Ward, was rushed to hospital where she later died.
