[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] On the 25th, the Changwon Jungbu Police Station in Gyeongnam announced that they have apprehended a man in his 30s, identified as A, who habitually committed 'coffee terrorism' targeting women who were alone.


A is accused of spraying coffee or beverages on the heads and bodies of women alone at bus stops or benches in the Seongsan-gu area of Changwon more than 10 times over the past month and fleeing the scene (charges include assault).


The crimes mainly occurred between 9 PM and midnight in dark and sparsely populated areas.


As of the 23rd, there have been a total of six victims who were sprayed with coffee on their heads and bodies, all women in their 20s.


The police identified and arrested A as a suspect after analyzing closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage showing him wearing a jumper and riding a bicycle while committing the crimes.



The police are investigating A regarding the circumstances and motives behind the offenses.
