A man who was placed on a nationwide wanted list following an acid attack earlier in the week at a Tokyo subway station was arrested Saturday in Okinawa, investigative sources said.

Hirotaka Hanamori, 25, is suspected of throwing sulfuric acid at a 22-year-old man at Tokyo Metro Co.'s Shirokane Takanawa Station in the capital's Minato Ward on Tuesday night.

The suspect is refusing to answer questions from police about the allegations, the sources said.
