[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] A man in his 40s who assaulted a doctor for being rude at a general hospital in Jeju City was sentenced to probation.

The Jeju District Court Criminal Division 2 (Judge Lee Jang-wook) announced on the 22nd that A (47), who was charged with violating the Emergency Medical Services Act, was sentenced to six months in prison with one year of probation.

The court stated the sentencing reasons, saying, "Considering the circumstances and details of the crime, the nature of the offense is not light, and there are multiple prior records of violence," but "the fact that the defendant admitted the wrongdoing was also taken into account."

A was charged with assaulting Dr. B (43) by grabbing and shaking his collar in the emergency room of a general hospital in Jeju City at around 1:50 a.m. on September 10 last year, causing delays in the treatment of waiting emergency patients.

A is known to have caused a disturbance because Dr. B was allegedly rude to him.
