The 34-year-old was cleared for a second time over the death of his partner's son in a Yokohama apartment eight years ago.
The 39-year-old suspect was arrested after a woman in her 20s was struck in the face without warning on a street in central Tokyo, and police are investigating similar attacks on women around the same time.
The woman was attacked in a field in front of her home in Hayakawa. Hunters tracked an adult bear and a cub into the woods nearby and culled both with the town's permission.
Tokyo police say the women, in their teens and 20s, were kicked from behind or punched as they walked in Jimbocho on the evening of October 17.
