This event happened some time ago however I feel no guilt about posting it at such a late date.
Many of the story's details are speculation and facts that have come from some source or another. The problem is that the event itself is so ludicrous that I don't believe any respectable (boring) news companies even bothered to do a follow-up in order to disclose all the facts. So this is what I know.
A somewhat paunchy tourist took an hour long swim in the moat surrounding the Imperial Palace. The facts of why he was swimming in the Imperial Palace moat are slightly muddled, however the important thing is that he was:
a) totally naked
b) aggressive.
Hiyaaa!!! Gaijin Smash
The tourist is British. His motive for jumping into the moat and subsequently attacking the police for trying to get him out was due to the fact that he had dropped his bag, which included his passport, into the water. This is also adequate explanation of why he attempted to retrieve it naked.
The Japanese response to his actions? Typical, they laughed and took pictures of him with their mobile phones. They also released him without charges stating that he was mentally unstable.
Check online for some hilarious videos, like this one http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=0WHTtMwodcM, of his battle against the man.

Third line, should be "many of the story's details" or possibly "many of the stories' details".
He's also evidently insane. I bet the Christian Science Monitor is also claiming this as the reason the royal family is depressed.
Insane? Nonsense. This guy is a visionary.
Hey, I remember this! Didn't know there was any follow-up information, I was led to believe he was just mad. Still, he is quite mad.
