An ISIS-inspired teen in Tokyo has been caught 'practicing murder ' with a junior school 's pet goat , according to the Tokyo metropolitan police . The 14-year old boy , who can not be named for legal reasons , said he wanted behead the kid goat before he attacked a human victim after viewing videos of the recent killings of Japanese hostages by ISIS . Police in Tachikawa , a middle-class bed-town serving central Tokyo , said that the boy had been found attacking the goat with a crowbar at 1am in the morning on March 16 . Victim : Inspired by watching horrendous videos of ISIS executions , a teenager in Tokyo tried to behead a goat ( pictured ) as 'practice ' before attacking a human . Lucky escape : The boy was found attacking the goat with a crowbar at 1am in Tachikawa , a middle-class town serving central Tokyo . Chilling inspiration : Police quoted the boy who tried to behead the goat ( pictured ) as saying : ' I wanted to murder somebody , anybody , after viewing videos of the Islamic State ' Safe : The goat escaped any serious injuries and the boy - who is a minor - does not qualify for Japan 's capital punishment laws despite calls on Twitter to give him the death penalty . Police said they were alerted to the assault when a passing police officer heard the repeated bleatings of the goat . The teen was caught chasing it and was found to be carrying a saw and other workman 's tools . ' I wanted to murder somebody , anybody , after viewing videos of the Islamic State . But first I decided to kill the school goat for practice , ' the police quoted the boy as saying . The attempt on the animal has parallels with another ISIS inspired attack in suburban Kawasaki , adjacent to Tokyo , earlier last month . Like the chief suspect in the Kawasaki murder , the goats ' assailant was also a dropout , according to the police , and a 'hikikomori ' a shut-in - common among the young in Japan . One of the three high school boys charged with stabbing a 12-year-old boy to death in Kawasaki proclaimed himself and the rest of his 'team ' as the 'Kawasaki State ' - following the same naming pattern as the terrorist organization ISIS . The gang terrorised other students in the port city declaring : 'We 're above the law . We run by our own rules . We are Kawasaki State . If you go against us , we 'll cut off your head while you 're still alive ! ' Punishment : Police said the goat 's assailant will be charged with trespassing and is now in the hands of Tokyo 's juvenile court . Anger : In light of the attack on the goat , some have blamed Japanese parents for not knowing how to control their children 's internet usage . The three are due to be tried for murder in a juvenile court later this year . Both the Kawaski murder and the attempt on the goat have generated thousands of tweets in Japan calling for the death penalty for minors in the case of heinous crimes . The perpetrators in both cases are all minors - under 20-years-old in Japan - and are not subject to the country 's capital punishment laws . 'Murder must be punished by the death penalty whatever the age , ' was one reaction . Other blamed Japanese parents who do not know how to control their children 's internet usage because they are allegedly technologically illiterate . Violent viewing : The computer of the boy who attacked the goat contained videos of hostage beheadings - including those of Japanese hostages Kenji Goto ( left ) and Haruna Yukawa ( right ) Police in the Tachikawa case confirmed that the boy 's computer showed a long history of downloaded videos of Islamic State beheading hostages - and that the suspect had viewed them repeatedly . The most viewed were the beheadings of two Japanese hostages in January - journalist Kenji Goto and Haruna Yukawa , a security contractor . Police said the goat 's assailant will be charged with trespassing and is now in the hands of Tokyo 's juvenile court . They added that the goat escaped any serious injuries .
