Four High School Students Beat Middle Schoolers for About an Hour, Saying "They Talk Behind Our Backs"

Gyeongnam Gimhae Jungbu Police Station.

Police are investigating four high school students who assaulted three middle school students for about an hour, accusing them of "talking behind their backs."

According to the Gimhae Jungbu Police Station in Gyeongnam on the 30th, at around 9 p.m. on the 19th, four first-year high school students collectively assaulted three third-year middle school students for an hour in a park in Eobang-dong, Gimhae City.

The high school students reportedly attacked the middle school students because they believed the younger students were talking behind their backs, causing injuries to two middle school students that required two weeks of medical treatment.

When a crowd gathered in the park, the assault continued in a nearby building's parking lot.

The police began the investigation following a report from the mother of one of the middle school students and have completed questioning both parties.

Seven witnesses at the scene are also being investigated, with authorities considering whether to apply charges of aiding and abetting.
