[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Seohyun] A man in his 20s with 17 prior convictions for violence was sentenced to prison for assaulting a woman in her 60s without any reason at a singing bar in Incheon.

According to the legal community on the 4th, the Incheon District Court Criminal Division 15 (Judge Oh Hanseung) sentenced A (27), who was charged with injury, to two years in prison.

The court stated, "A kicked B's leg, causing her to fall to the floor, and then continued to kick B's body as she rolled on the ground, inflicting very severe violence, which is a grave offense."

It added, "Despite having 17 prior criminal punishments including actual prison sentences for similar offenses, and being under probation or suspended sentence periods, A committed the crime again without any remorse. Considering that B's injuries appear to have partially healed, strict punishment is still necessary," explaining the sentencing rationale.

A reportedly assaulted B (63) while intoxicated at a singing bar in Michuhol-gu, Incheon, around 7 a.m. on February 20.

A grabbed B's hair and shook her head, punched her face, and chased after her as she tried to escape, repeatedly kicking her face, abdomen, and back in a spree of indiscriminate violence.

B suffered injuries including fractures to ribs and fingers. Additionally, investigations revealed that after being arrested by the police, A continued to verbally abuse officers and even attempted to flee.
