Police plan to request an arrest warrant for the man

A man in his 20s who committed a 'random assault' on a woman in her 20s living in the same apartment complex was arrested by the police. The victim and the perpetrator were reportedly strangers, leading to comparisons with the so-called 'Busan spinning kick' incident.

On the 6th, the Uiwang Police Station in Gyeonggi Province announced the day before that they plan to request an arrest warrant for Mr. A, who is suspected of assault. Mr. A is accused of repeatedly punching a woman in her 20s, Ms. B, in the elevator of a corridor-style apartment in Uiwang City around 12:30 PM the previous day, causing her injuries.

Mr. A is suspected of repeatedly assaulting Ms. B, a woman in her 20s, with his fists in an elevator of an apartment in Uiwang City around 12:30 PM that day.

He boarded the elevator on the 12th floor where Ms. B was descending, pressed the button for the 10th floor, and suddenly launched an indiscriminate attack on her. When the elevator stopped on the 10th floor, he forcibly dragged Ms. B out.

The apartment is corridor-style, and residents on the 10th floor who heard Ms. B’s screams came out and reported the incident, leading to Mr. A’s arrest at the scene. Ms. B sustained serious injuries to her face and is receiving hospital treatment.

Police investigations revealed that Mr. A lived alone in the apartment and, although he was a neighbor living in the same building as Ms. B, they had no prior acquaintance.

It was also found that Mr. A had served time in a juvenile detention center for attempted rape during his minor years. During police questioning, Mr. A reportedly stated that he assaulted the victim with the intent to sexually assault her.

This case has caused further shock as it recalls the so-called 'Busan spinning kick' incident, where a woman in her 20s was assaulted and rendered unconscious while returning home in Seomyeon, Busan. The suspect in the spinning kick case is accused of dragging the unconscious victim to a CCTV blind spot and committing a sexual crime.

A police official stated, "At the time of the crime, the suspect was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and we are investigating whether there was any other criminal intent such as sexual offenses."
