"Stop Urinating in Public": Man Severely Beaten in Group Assault, Begged for Help Covered in Blood

Three men in their 20s have been transferred to prosecutors in custody for brutally assaulting a man and stealing his belongings after he told them to stop urinating in public.

The Seoul Yeongdeungpo Police Station announced that it has transferred the three men in their 20s in custody on charges of robbery resulting in injury for assaulting a man in his 30s, identified as A, and stealing his possessions.

At around midnight on September 24, the suspects attempted to urinate in front of the home of Mr. A in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, while intoxicated.

When Mr. A discovered them and intervened, telling them not to urinate in public, the group reportedly punched him multiple times.

Anticipating that Mr. A would report the incident, the suspects also snatched his mobile phone and wallet.

Police found that the group had no prior acquaintance with Mr. A.

According to the police investigation, Mr. A subsequently went to a nearby convenience store bleeding from the assault to ask for help.

The store owner, upon seeing him, reported the incident to the police, stating, "The victim is bleeding heavily and begging for his life."

Police dispatched to the scene analyzed CCTV footage and located the group nearby, arresting them on emergency charges.

Police stated, "We have detained and transferred the suspects due to concerns over the destruction of evidence and flight risks."
