[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] A man who was assaulting his girlfriend was knocked down by a strong punch from another woman nearby.


According to major foreign media on the 1st (local time), Michael Dupree Phano (58) had an argument with his girlfriend at a bowling alley in Charleston, South Carolina, around 6:30 PM on the 19th.


As the fight escalated, Dupree grabbed his girlfriend's hair and strangled her.


At that moment, Dupree's assault was stopped by the appearance of a woman.


Another woman watching the scene inside the bowling alley punched Dupree's face as he was strangling his girlfriend's neck.


The woman's punch accurately struck Dupree's left eye area.


The punch was so powerful that Dupree collapsed immediately after being hit, and he barely regained consciousness after the police, who had been called, arrived.


Dupree was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment and also visited the University of South Carolina affiliated hospital for additional ophthalmologic care.


After receiving treatment, Dupree was arrested by the police on charges of third-degree assault and battery.


Dupree was incarcerated on the 20th and was released the same day after posting bail of $1,087 (approximately 1.23 million KRW).



Meanwhile, it is reported that Dupree, a personal injury lawyer, had his lawyer license revoked for nine months in 2012 for assaulting a police officer.
