According to NHK, at least 25 people reported feeling ill from the smell, with many complaining that the strong odor gave them a sore throat.
The Metropolitan Police said the smell emanated from a man who sprayed a substance near a bank ATM on the complex's first floor. Authorities are reportedly still investigating the matter.
