Yomiuri Giants baseball manager Abe resigns after arrest over allegedly assaulting his daughter‎

Shinnosuke Abe has resigned as manager of Japan's storied baseball team Yomiuri Giants after being arrested for the alleged assault of his teenage daughter. The 47-year-old Abe, who was later released, apologized “for causing trouble because of my family matters” at a news conference on Tuesday where he announced he was stepping down as manager. The Yomiuri newspaper, which owns the team, said Abe allegedly grabbed his 18-year-old daughter by the collar and threw her down to the floor as he tried to stop her fighting with her younger sister at home in Tokyo on Monday.
