[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] An incident occurred where a burly man violently assaulted a man in his 60s simply because he looked at him, prompting the police to launch an investigation.

According to the Gumi Police Station in Gyeongbuk on the 15th, around 10:20 a.m. the previous day, a man estimated to be in his 30s or 40s, identified as Mr. A, violently attacked a resident, Mr. B (65), who was returning home in an alley near Gumi Geum-o Market.

Mr. B had been walking near his home for about an hour as exercise before heading back.

Mr. B glanced briefly at Mr. A, who was sitting in the market alley wearing earphones.

When Mr. A reacted by saying, "What are you looking at?" Mr. B awkwardly replied, "I thought you were someone I knew."

Suddenly, Mr. A grabbed Mr. B's arm and threw him down. He then struck Mr. B's face and chest using his fists, feet, and knees.

Mr. B sustained injuries to his face, nose, and chest, and is currently receiving treatment at a hospital where he received four stitches near his eye.

The victim reported Mr. A to the police and secured CCTV footage from shops within the market, which was submitted as evidence.

The police are tracking Mr. A, who is believed to work near Geum-o Market.

Additionally, on the same day, CCTV footage of the assault was released on the Facebook page Gumi Matjip Ilbo.

In the video, Mr. A pushes down the seated Mr. B and assaults him. Mr. B is unable to retaliate and remains seated while being attacked.

The person who posted the video on Facebook stated, "The victim's eyes, nose, and mouth were covered in blood. He was in a battered state," and requested, "If anyone witnessed a person matching the description in the video, please provide information."
