Police Arrest Man in His 50s for Repeated Indecent Acts on Subway Line 2

A man in his 50s has been arrested by police on charges of repeatedly committing indecent acts against women on Seoul Subway Line 2.

The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Subway Investigation Unit announced that following a series of posts on social media recently reporting witnesses seeing a man making inappropriate physical contact on Subway Line 2, they conducted a search and arrested the man, identified as A in his 50s, around 10:00 PM yesterday.

At the time of his arrest, A was committing the crime inside a train traveling from Gangnam Station toward Seocho Station, and was caught in the act by police officers who had been lying in wait.

It was reported that A was previously caught for the same offense last year, and carried out the latest crime wearing the exact same clothes he had worn during the previous incident.

Police urged citizens to report immediately if they witness crimes such as inappropriate physical contact or suffer victimization inside the subway.
