Mr. A, a man in his 40s living in the apartment, said he checked after his daughter told him she heard swearing and a loud thud from outside. Upon inspection, he discovered damage to his front door and traces of spit.

After reviewing the internal closed-circuit (CC) TV footage, it was found that the delivery worker, Mr. B, had coughed in the direction of Mr. A’s wife in front of the first-floor elevator before the incident. Mr. A reported to the police, believing that Mr. B’s actions were retaliatory after overhearing his wife mutter, “What’s wrong with him?” It was also confirmed that Mr. B checked which floor Mr. A’s wife got off the elevator.

The police are tracking Mr. B based on the report and surrounding CCTV footage. A police official stated, “We are currently investigating on suspicion of property damage,” adding, “We plan to identify Mr. B and confirm the facts of the case.”
