'Bus Stop Random Assault' 40s Arrested... Court Cites "Flight Risk"

[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] A man in his 40s who assaulted two women he had never met at a bus stop without any reason has been detained.

On the 12th, Kwon Deok-jin, the chief judge in charge of warrants at the Seoul Eastern District Court, held a pre-arrest interrogation (warrant review) for suspect A, who is accused of injury, and issued an arrest warrant that day.

Judge Kwon explained the reason for issuing the warrant, stating, "He has no fixed residence and there is a risk of flight."

Suspect A is accused of assaulting two women waiting for a bus at a bus stop in Garak-dong, Songpa-gu, around 12:10 a.m. on the 10th. A reportedly hit one woman first, saying, "Why are you touching my socks?" and when another woman, her friend, tried to stop him, he also assaulted her. A was arrested on the spot as a suspect caught in the act.

The female victims sustained injuries to their faces and received medical diagnoses requiring two weeks of treatment.
