Robber raids police dorm

A knife-wielding robber picked the wrong target in Japan when he burst into a police dormitory.
The 26-year-old demanded cash but instead found himself surrounded by police officers, reports Mainichi Shimbun.
Police suspect the robber may have intended to rob a Japan Railways office next to the police dormitory in Haramachi.
"Our uniforms look pretty similar to those used by JR, so he probably got us mixed up," a police officer at the scene said.
The arrested man told police: "I didn't really care where I could go, but never dreamed I'd end up where I did."
