According to the police, A is accused of verbally abusing a nurse and punching a security guard in the face at an emergency room of a hospital in Iksan City around 9 p.m. on the 29th of last month.


The hospital staff who witnessed the incident immediately reported it to the police, and A was arrested by the responding officers.



The police stated that A committed the crime out of frustration because his mother-in-law, who visited the emergency room due to health issues, was not transferred to a general ward from the emergency room.
