TOKYO — Four teenagers from an American military base in Japan were arrested on charges of attempted murder on Saturday for allegedly toppling a woman riding her motorbike, causing her to suffer a serious head injury.
In the August episode, which has received national coverage in Japan, a 23-year-old motorbike rider suffered a fractured skull when she hit rope that the authorities say had been strung across a road by the four teenagers near the Yokota Air Base in Tokyo.
The suspects are three boys and a girl, ages 15 to 18, who all are children of United States military personnel. Local police officers arrested them after surveillance videotapes showed them near the site of the crash.
One of the teenagers sought help from a passer-by for the injured woman, according to news reports.
The police said that American officials were cooperating in the investigation.
Base-related crime is a delicate issue in Japan, where about 47,000 American troops are stationed under a mutual security pact. The United States and Japan are still negotiating the relocation of another United States military base, the Marine Corps Air Station Futenma in Okinawa, in the aftermath of a public outcry over the rape of a local schoolgirl by three American servicemen in 1995.
