Police in Osaka say a man suspected of stabbing one of their officers and stealing his handgun, had lived near the crime scene in the past.
The incident occurred early on Sunday morning in Suita City, Osaka Prefecture.
Officer, Suzunosuke Kose, 26, was found stabbed with a knife in front of the police box where he was on duty. His loaded handgun was missing. He remains unconscious in hospital.
Police released security camera footage from the police box and identified the suspect as 33-year-old Yujiro Iimori from Tokyo's Shinagawa ward.
A manhunt was launched for him on suspicion of attempted murder.
Security camera footage from neighboring Minoh City showed a person resembling the suspect going back and forth between a residential area and a mountain between noon and 8 p.m. on Sunday.
Police began a search the following morning and arrested him at around 6:30 a.m. after finding him lying on a bench.
The handgun was found in a bag under the bench. Police say they have found evidence that one of the bullets was fired.
Police say Iimori denies the allegations. He said, "I didn't do it. I think it's because my sickness is getting worse. It's because the people around me are getting worse."
Iimori is said to have been carrying a document specifying that he has a psychiatric disorder. Police are also examining his mental state.
Police say Iimori lived near the site in Suita City in his teens.
They also say that just before the incident he phoned the police using the name of someone he knows and said there had been a robbery near the police box.
Police also say they received reports of a possible gunshot near the crime scene, about 20 minutes after the officer was attacked.
The authorities are investigating the suspect's motives and the circumstances of the crime.

Footage from a series of security cameras has led to the arrest of a man who allegedly attacked a police officer and took his loaded handgun in Osaka Prefecture, western Japan, on Sunday.
Police say Yujiro Iimori appeared at a supermarket in Suita City about two and a half hours after the attack. The store is roughly five kilometers north of the crime scene.
The police say Iimori bought a light-blue cap and a dark-red long-sleeve zip-up jumper.
The supermarket called the police to report that a man with blood on his right hand had come there to purchase clothing.
Surveillance camera videos show the suspect then continuing to flee in a northerly direction.
A camera at a roadside do-it-yourself store in neighboring Minoh City, about two kilometers northwest of the supermarket, captured images of him shortly after 9:40 a.m.
Police say he bought an insect repellent.
Footage from another camera shows Iimori entering a convenience store about an hour later. The store is about one kilometer north of the DIY store.
The suspect reportedly bought a cell phone charger and a battery.
Iimori was last seen on camera shortly after 8 p.m. as he was heading toward a mountainous area.
The police started their search operation early on Monday, and found the suspect lying on a bench about eight kilometers north of the scene of the attack.

Iran's atomic energy agency said on Monday that the country could significantly raise uranium enrichment levels in early July as a fresh response to the US withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers.
The agency also said Iran will resume observing the restrictions stated in the agreement if the nations participating in the deal take steps to protect Iran's interests from the US sanctions.
Key words : Mike made phone call
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20190617_28/
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says he has made phone calls to other countries' officials to convey the view that Iran attacked two tankers in the Gulf of Oman.
The United States released a video last week that it says proves Iranian involvement in the attacks. Iran flatly denies the allegations.
Pompeo told a CBS News program on Sunday that the US had shared the video and other evidence with other nations. He also said he will make a "whole bunch more calls" to explain the US stance.
The program's presenter repeatedly pointed out there was not sufficient evidence to prove Iran's involvement.
Pompeo replied that no one disputes that Iran took the actions to deny freedom of navigation in the international waterway.
Britain and Saudi Arabia back the US claim, but some other countries say that a careful assessment is needed.
Key words : Japanese court
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20190617_29/
A Japanese court has rejected a request to revoke government approval for restarting nuclear reactors at the Sendai power plant in southwestern Japan. The request argued that the plant operator has not taken the necessary measures against possible volcanic eruptions in its surrounding areas.
The Fukuoka District Court on Monday handed down the ruling on a lawsuit filed by 33 residents over the nuclear plant in Kagoshima Prefecture.
The No.1 and No.2 reactors were brought back online after the Nuclear Regulation Authority gave its approval under new guidelines introduced after the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident.
The plaintiffs argued that the plant lacks measures to ensure its safety in the event of major volcanic eruptions.
The authority's risk assessment guidelines for volcanoes call for nuclear plant operators to assess the impact of volcanoes near their facilities.
In Monday's ruling, presiding judge Moriharu Kurasawa said experts may not have established the knowledge to precisely assess the likelihood of volcanic activities.
Kurasawa also said laws and regulations related to nuclear power do not require plant operators to take measures for every possible natural disaster.
He added that it is socially acceptable to take no action for a disaster that is beyond rational projections, unless the likelihood of such an event can be shown with certain evidence.
The judge said it is not irrational for operators not to take steps for disasters that are impossible to predict and seldom occur, even though their impact would be grave.
This is the first ruling in a lawsuit filed over government approvals of the operation of nuclear plants after the new regulations were introduced.
The head of the plaintiffs' lawyers, Yuichi Kaido, said the court ignored the risk of a catastrophic eruption even though many experts are warning of such an event.
Kaido said it is tantamount to tolerating a second Fukushima Daiichi accident, and that the plaintiffs will never allow that to happen. He indicated that the plaintiffs will appeal the ruling.
Key words : iwaya

Japan's Defense Minister Takeshi Iwaya has apologized to the governor of Akita Prefecture for incidents related to the planned deployment of a land-based missile interceptor system known as Aegis Ashore.
Iwaya met with Governor Norihisa Satake at the prefectural office on Monday.
Local opposition to the plan has increased over the series of incidents.
These include the government's use of flawed data to show that the Ground Self-Defense Force's training area in Akita City is a suitable site for the placement of the missile defense system.
Residents also complained when a defense official dozed off at a public meeting that the government had convened to apologize for the misinformation.
Iwaya said he is deeply sorry, as these incidents could make people question the sincerity of the Defense Ministry.
He said the ministry will launch a taskforce in charge of the matter and conduct another survey of candidate sites for the deployment.
He added that Aegis Ashore is indispensable and he will make sincere efforts to restore public trust.
Satake said the public wants an honest explanation, not a cautious response.
He asked Iwaya to review the deployment plan from scratch to allow comparisons to be made with other candidate sites on such factors as topographical suitability and infrastructure costs.
Satake added that the prefecture will not discuss the deployment until this review is carried out.
Key words : government rejected dispute

A governmental arbitration panel has rejected a request by the Okinawa prefectural government to examine a dispute with the central government over a landfill project to relocate a US military base within the prefecture.
The southwestern prefecture filed the request in April with the Central and Local Government Dispute Management Council.
Okinawa insisted that the land minister's decision to annul the prefecture's retraction of its permission to conduct the landfill work was illegal.
The panel members on Monday unanimously decided to reject Okinawa's request.
They said the minister's decision does not qualify as a dispute that requires the council's examination.
In February, the council made a similar decision after Okinawa sought arbitration in November to block the landfill work.
Okinawa then insisted that the land minister's decision to temporarily suspend the prefecture's retraction of its permission to conduct landfill work was illegal.
Council chair Kazuhiro Tomikoshi told reporters the argument made by Okinawa was the same as the one it made the previous time, so the council's decision is also the same as the one it reached in February.
The ongoing landfill work is part of a plan to relocate the US Marine Corps Futenma Air Station in Ginowan City to the less-populated Henoko district of Nago City.

Joshua Wong, a prominent pro-democracy activist in Hong Kong, was freed on Monday after spending nearly five weeks in jail for contempt of court.
He is now joining calls for Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam to step down over her handling of proposed changes to the territory's extradition laws that would allow people to be sent to mainland China for trial.
Large-scale protests have taken place over the bill. Lam has apologized and announced that it will be suspended indefinitely.
In a written statement, she admitted that its deficiencies have led to substantial controversies and disputes. Protesters want the bill scrapped permanently.
Wong, 22, played a major role in the "umbrella movement" demonstrations five years ago.
He said, "Now is the time for me to join this fight. It's time for us to urge Carrie Lam to withdraw the extradition law proposal, and it's her responsibility to step down."
A massive rally took place on Sunday. Organizers say nearly two million people turned out. That would be the biggest in Hong Kong's history, with one in every four residents participating.
Demonstrators have since moved from the streets to a sit-in at the front of Hong Kong's government building.

Officials at Japan Display say Taiwanese touch-screen maker TPK is pulling out of a plan to inject capital. TPK cited a change in circumstances but offered no details.
It was part of the China-Taiwan consortium offering a lifeline to JDI. It would have provided 230 million dollars to the Japanese panel maker.
JDI says it has yet to receive formal notice of support from another member of the consortium, a Taiwanese financial institution.
However, it expects a third member, a Chinese fund, to raise its contribution, and it says a Hong Kong-based fund has also signaled it will invest.
After some delay, all the offers are expected to be final by June 27th. JDI's worse-than-expected losses are thought to be the reason for the seeming hesitation.
JDI is a supplier to Apple, but has been hit hard by the recent drop in orders from the US IT giant.

Owners of internet-connected devices in Japan that have been infected with malware may receive an alert from the government alert starting this week. The notification system is part of the government's efforts to boost cyber security in the run-up to the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics next year.
The research arm of the communications ministry launched a test in February to check the vulnerability of the Internet of Things in homes and offices. Experts targeted more than 200 million devices to see if they could detect malicious software.
Owners of infected devices will be notified through their Internet service providers that there is a risk their appliances could be breached by hackers.
Ministry officials say they won't publicly share the findings of the test for security reasons.
