[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Dong-hoon] The police have summoned resident A (49), who repeatedly assaulted and verbally abused a security guard at an apartment in Gangbuk-gu, Seoul, driving the guard to an extreme choice.

According to the police on the 17th, the Gangbuk Police Station in Seoul is investigating A on charges including injury and assault around 1 p.m. that day.

Choi, a security guard in his 50s, reportedly had a dispute with A over parking at the end of last month and was continuously subjected to verbal abuse and physical assault by A. Subsequently, Choi made an extreme choice on the 10th of this month.

After being verbally and physically abused, Choi filed a complaint against A with the police, who then imposed a travel ban on A. A is reported to claim that "there was no assault, and residents are making false or exaggerated claims."
