According to the prefectural police of Shizuoka and Saitama, a newspaper delivery man reported a blood-covered man walking on a street in Ito, Shizuoka Prefecture, around 3:15 a.m. on March 28. Terauchi, who bore neck injuries when he was found, did not resist when police took him into custody and was identified by his driver’s license. A man suspected of holding a 15-year-old girl captive in his apartment for two years tried to kill himself with a box cutter after she escaped, investigators said March 28. The police said they plan to arrest the Chiba University graduate after he recovers and charge him with confining the girl. Terauchi graduated from Chiba University’s engineering department earlier this month and was set to start working in April, the school confirmed Monday. According to the Saitama prefectural police investigation headquarters for the case, the girl escaped from Terauchi’s apartment room in Nakano Ward on March 27 after he left the home to “go shopping in Akihabara.” 
 
 She called police from a public telephone at JR Higashi-Nakano Station around 12:30 p.m., and police officers from the Nakano Police Station immediately took her into protective custody. The girl was escorted to Niiza Police Station in Saitama on Sunday and reunited with her family, the police said. She also said she was “abducted in front of my home in Saitama by being forced into a car by an unfamiliar man.” 
 
 Saitama police obtained an arrest warrant for Terauchi, and investigators searched his home early on March 28. Terauchi is believed to have abducted the junior high school student from Asaka, Saitama Prefecture, just north of Tokyo, in March 2014, and kept her under restraint until she escaped and was taken into protective custody on March 27.
– On March 10, 2014, a Japanese mother found a note in her mailbox. "Don't look for me," it read. The handwriting was that of her daughter, who essentially vanished on that day. The last sighting of the teen had been outside her home a few hours earlier, when she was seen talking to a young man. The now-15-year-old on Sunday escaped from what police say was a 2-year captivity at the hands of a 23-year-old. The Asahi Shimbum reports a bloodied Kabu Terauchi was seen by a newspaper delivery man at 3:15am Monday; police were called, and the suspect, who told police he had tried to kill himself with the box cutter in his hand, was apprehended. The bleeding was too significant to allow for an interrogation, but police say the girl, who is from Asaka, Saitama Prefecture, just north of Tokyo, broke out of Terauchi's Tokyo apartment when he left to go shopping and apparently left the door unlocked. She called police from a payphone, and told them she had been "abducted in front of my home in Saitama by being forced into a car by an unfamiliar man." A source tells the Kyodo news agency that Terauchi is said to have fooled the girl into getting into his car by saying her parents were divorcing and that he would drive her to a law office. Police plan to formally arrest Terauchi, who in March graduated from Chiba University's engineering department, and charge him with kidnapping. (Police say these missing sisters were held captive for 11 months.)
