[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] A woman in her 20s, who was indicted for repeatedly hitting a man in his 60s on the head with a cellphone inside a Seoul Subway Line 9 train, is set to receive the Supreme Court's final judgment.

On the 6th, according to the 4th Criminal Appeal Division (Chief Judge Yang Hyung-kwon) of the Seoul Southern District Court, Kim, who was sentenced to one year in prison in the second trial on charges including special injury, submitted an appeal to the court the day before.

Previously, the appellate court stated, "Since there is no change in sentencing conditions and considering the reasons for sentencing and the trial records, the original sentence cannot be seen as too light or too heavy," and dismissed the appeals filed by both the defendant and the prosecution.

Kim was indicted for repeatedly hitting the head of a man in his 60s, Mr. A, with a cellphone after a dispute inside the Line 9 subway heading toward Gayang Station on March 16.

Additionally, on October 21 of last year, Kim was further indicted for pouring a beverage on Mr. B's head during an argument on Subway Line 1, hitting his head with a bag, and scratching his chest and arm with fingernails.
