[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] A man who damaged an expensive foreign car and assaulted the owner while intoxicated was arrested by the police.


The Seocho Police Station in Seoul announced on the 25th that they have booked and are investigating a man identified as A on charges of assault and property damage without detention.


On the 23rd, around 2 a.m., near Gangnam Station in Seoul, Mr. A was caught in the act by police after damaging a Porsche car by climbing onto its hood and assaulting the owner. The damaged vehicle is reported to be a Porsche 718 Boxster model worth approximately 100 million KRW.


A person claiming to be an acquaintance of the victim posted on the online community Bobae Dream, saying, "It's absurd that a similar incident happened again shortly after the Bentley case," and shared a video of the incident.


A police official stated, "We are investigating the exact circumstances of the incident based on the statements of Mr. A and the victim."



Meanwhile, on the 19th, a 20-year-old university student identified as B was criminally charged after kicking the passenger door of a Bentley worth about 200 million KRW and assaulting the driver in an alley in Paldal-gu, Suwon City, Gyeonggi Province. During the police investigation, B reportedly stated, "I was intoxicated and do not remember the situation at the time."
