20-Year-Old Man Arrested for Wandering with a Weapon Searching for Woman He Bumped Shoulders With

A man in his 20s who wandered around the city holding a hammer looking for a woman whose shoulder he bumped into at a bar was arrested by the police.

The Gwangju Western Police Station announced on the 27th that they had obtained an arrest warrant from the court for A (26) on charges of attempted special injury and injury for assaulting the woman and attempting secondary harm.

A is accused of pushing the face of a woman in her 20s, B, with his hand after bumping into her while she was returning from the restroom at a bar in Chipyeong-dong, Seo-gu, Gwangju, at around 6:30 a.m. on the 21st.

He is also accused of wandering around near the bar for some time holding a hammer with the intent of causing secondary harm after leaving the bar.

A, who was caught following B’s report, reportedly stated during the police investigation, "I did it because I was angry."

Considering the risk of flight and retaliation, the police applied for an arrest warrant for A, which was granted by the court.
