On the 26th, the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul announced that they investigated the middle school student A, who was arrested at the scene the previous day, in the presence of a guardian and then placed him under emergency hospitalization early that morning.
Emergency hospitalization is a system that allows a person suspected of having a mental illness to be admitted to a medical institution for up to three days if there is an urgent risk of self-harm or harm to others.
A police official stated, "Considering that the suspect is a minor and his current health condition, we plan to conduct a thorough investigation into the motive for the crime and other details."
On the previous day at around 5:18 p.m., Bae was attacked multiple times on the head with a stone by A at the entrance of a building in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Bae collapsed bleeding from the head and was transported to a nearby university hospital for emergency treatment. He is currently hospitalized and under observation.
The police arrested A at the scene on charges of special assault and took him into custody. According to CCTV footage released by Bae’s office and his aides, A asked Bae twice, "You are People Power Party’s Bae Hyun-jin, right?" before striking Bae’s head with a stone.
