TOKYO, May 8 (Xinhua) -- Two men were arrested after breaking into a suburban Tokyo elementary school on Thursday, causing minor injuries to five faculty members and appearing to have smashed a window, police said.
There were no immediate reports of children being hurt at the public Daisan Elementary School in the city of Tachikawa, western Tokyo, according to Tokyo's Metropolitan Police Department.
Police received an emergency call from the school shortly before 11 a.m. local time about an intrusion where a man in his 40s and another in his 20s entered the school building and began smashing windows.
The two were arrested at the scene on suspicion of assault, police said.
The incident began when the mother of a student visited the school that morning to discuss a problem. She failed to reach an agreement with the school and called one of the suspects to the premises, which led to the commotion, according to police.
Police are questioning the mother about the incident. ■
