Drunken Rookie Assaults Senior Officer on Duty... Just Days After Appointment

A rookie police officer intoxicated with alcohol assaulted a senior officer who responded to the scene and was arrested.

On the 26th, the Geumjeong Police Station in Busan announced that they had booked Mr. A, in his 30s, without detention on charges of obstructing official duties on the 24th.

According to the police, Mr. A was intoxicated and causing a disturbance by shouting loudly on the street near Oncheoncheon in Geumjeong-gu at around 11:18 PM on the 24th.

A citizen nearby reported the unruly drunk, and the police who arrived tried to calm Mr. A, but he claimed to be a "new police officer" and punched the responding officer.

Mr. A, who was appointed last week, was off duty on the day of the incident and was scheduled to receive training at the Gijang Police Station for a week starting from the 26th.

A police official stated, "Mr. A said he does not remember the assault because he was heavily intoxicated," and added, "We have requested the Busan Police Agency to suspend Mr. A's position."
