Fashion producer Endo arrested for assault

Fashion producer Noriaki Endo (38), who is married to talento Sakura Uehara (32), was arrested on Saturday for assault. The incident occurred at a wedding party in Aoyama, Tokyo, where Endo punched a photographer.

The party was for TV producer Masato Ochi (43) and model Chieko Kawabe (22), who tied the knot last August. A magazine photographer was taking pictures of Uehara with the couple, and he rudely told Endo that he was in the way. Offended, Endo punched the man once in the stomach.

When the man collapsed and did not get up, police and emergency services were called. Endo was arrested on the spot. The photographer was taken to the hospital, though he is said to have been conscious and suffered only a minor injury.
