[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Sehee] A foreign man who fled without paying a taxi fare and was caught by the police was found to have also committed a sexual assault.

Seoul Seongdong Police Station announced on the 17th that they arrested a Mongolian national in his 30s, Mr. A, who was wanted on charges under the Special Act on Sexual Violence (molestation in a crowded public place), on the 13th as a suspect caught in the act.

Mr. A attempted to flee without paying the taxi fare around 7:08 PM on the 13th but was caught by the police following a report from the taxi driver.

The responding officers chased Mr. A for 200 meters and apprehended him.
