Olympic medalist Erick Wainaina has been turned over to prosecutors after being accused of physically assaulting two individuals at a train station in Tokyo. The incident took place at Komazawa-daigaku Station on the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line, where Wainaina supposedly struck a teenage girl and a station employee in their 50s, resulting in minor injuries to the employee. According to reports, the disagreement stemmed from a confrontation on the train between Wainaina and the teenager, who apparently scolded him about his phone usage.

Wainaina, a renowned athlete who secured a bronze medal in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and a silver medal in the 2000 Sydney Olympics, admitted to police during questioning that he had been intoxicated during the altercation and had little recollection of the events that unfolded. This incident marks a stark deviation from Wainaina's previous achievements in the field of sports, as he now finds himself entangled in a legal case for his actions at the Tokyo train station. Despite his past successes on the Olympic stage, Wainaina now faces potential legal consequences for his behavior on that particular evening in March.
