A Japanese policeman has been arrested by fellow officers for licking a woman's hair.

Tatsuya Ichikawa, a forensics specialist, was in a fast food restaurant in Shizuoka Prefecture, central Japan.

He was then spotted licking a 25-year-old woman's hair before police were called and Ichikawa was detained, according to Agence France-Presse

The police department where Ichikawa worked said that he was on medical leave and did not specialise in human hair.

Ichikawa is reported to have told police: "I wanted to lick so I did."
