[Asia Economy Reporter Gong Byung-sun] A woman in her 20s, who is accused of assaulting a district office official while cracking down on smoking, was once again arrested by the police for blocking a passing car and assaulting the driver.

On the 21st, the Gangbuk Police Station in Seoul announced that they have booked and are investigating a woman in her 20s, identified as A, on charges of assault.

On the 19th at around 8:30 PM, A is accused of blocking a passing car at the Gangbuk-gu Office intersection in Beondong, Gangbuk-gu, Seoul, repeatedly assaulting the driver, B, and spitting on him. A also kicked B’s vehicle.

The police have applied for an arrest warrant for A on charges including assault. The Seoul Northern District Court conducted a warrant hearing that morning. A’s detention decision is expected to be made as early as that evening.
