I was in a massively busy market street in Dotonbori, Osaka, at night.
A police whistle shrieked, and I turned and saw a police officer absolutely booking it through the crowd, shoving through people, shouting at some perpetrator.
My American-cultured brain thought, "This is it, someone's about to die." It seriously freaked me out.
I watched, and he caught up to... a guy on a bike. It was a no-biking zone. He gave the guy a ticket.
