On the 16th, the Seocho Police Station in Seoul announced that they arrested a man in his 20s, identified as Mr. A, on the 15th on the spot for retaliatory crime under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes.

Mr. A is accused of visiting his girlfriend's house around 7 p.m. the previous day and assaulting her by punching her face and knocking her down.
