In Detention Center, 'Pukpuk'... 30s Assaulted Inmates and Police Officers

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] A man in his 30s who was detained in a holding cell on assault charges committed further violence against an inmate and a police officer.

According to the Gwangju Seobu Police Station on the 15th, Mr. A (36) assaulted inmate Mr. B (29) around 12:50 a.m. that day in the holding cell of the Seobu Police Station in Seo-gu, Gwangju.

Mr. A was sleeping in the holding cell when Mr. B, who had just returned from the restroom, was believed by Mr. A to have kicked him on the head with his foot, which led to the assault.

He also got into a physical altercation with the police officer managing the holding cell who tried to stop him, and it was reported that he was intoxicated at the time.

Mr. A had been detained in the holding cell after being arrested on the spot for assaulting a citizen around 8:10 p.m. the previous day in the restroom of a PC bang in Seo-gu, due to bumping shoulders.

The police decided not to apply charges for obstruction of official duties as the police officer’s injuries were minor, and since Mr. B did not wish to press charges, assault charges are also not expected to be applied.

Currently, Mr. A and Mr. B have been separated, and the exact circumstances of the incident are under investigation.
