He is accused of grabbing the woman's hair and slamming her head against a window, as well as striking her face, causing serious injuries requiring more than one month of medical treatment." According to Japanese legal procedures, transferring the case file does not mean the suspect has been arrested or convicted. This is a procedure for the police to forward the investigation results to the prosecutor for review, while the suspect remains out on bail. The prosecutor's office will then decide whether or not to prosecute.
