'Random Assault' on Commuters... Resisting Police by Spitting

Police Arrested on Charges of Assault and Obstruction of Official Duties

A man who caused a disturbance to a woman he had never met was caught in the act by the police. On the 18th, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency released a video titled "Introducing the story that ruined citizens' commute" on their YouTube channel.

Last March, on a road in Gwanak-gu, a shirtless man with tattoos ran toward a passing woman and collided with her, causing a disturbance. Police who responded to the report located the man with the help of citizen tips and coordination with the control center. The man also caused a disturbance by swearing and spitting at the police officers who approached him to ask about the situation.
