TOKYO (Reuters) - A middle-aged man stabbed to death with an umbrella may have been killed in an argument over a parking space, Japanese media reported on Thursday.

Toshimi Kuwabara, 55, staggered into his 77-year-old mother's house in Hiroshima, western Japan, with several stab wounds in his face and throat early on Thursday, they said.

Witnesses had heard a car drawing up and a loud argument in the street.

Police said a young man in a navy suit holding a black umbrella was seen fleeing the scene.

Kuwabara was taken to hospital but died an hour later.
