[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] A police academy student who was arrested for causing a disturbance at a PC bang while intoxicated and then punched police officers at the police station has been handed over to the prosecution.


On the 7th, the Yeongdeungpo Police Station in Seoul announced that third-year police academy student A was sent to the prosecution without detention on charges including obstruction of official duties and insult.


A is accused of causing a disturbance in a heavily intoxicated state at a PC bang in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, around 11:30 p.m. on the 22nd of last month and assaulting police officers who responded to the report.


After being transferred to the police station, A reportedly became suspicious when a female police officer noticed he was carrying a woman's wallet and, when questioned, verbally abused the officer by saying, "In five years, you will have to kneel before me," before throwing punches.



The Korean National Police University recently expelled A. A university official stated, "We held a disciplinary committee and decided on expulsion for student A," adding, "This falls under the grounds for expulsion according to the police academy's student conduct regulations."
