Intoxicated Woman Strolls Down Gangnam Boulevard During Morning Rush Hour

Police were dispatched after receiving a report at around 8:13 a.m. today (October 26) that a woman was walking around in a heavily intoxicated state in the middle of Gangnam Boulevard in Seoul during the morning rush hour.

Three police officers moved the woman to the sidewalk about five minutes after arriving, sheltered her at a nearby district police unit, and later sent her home.

It was determined that there were no criminal charges or points of suspicion involved.

The woman was reportedly heavily intoxicated at the time.

A person identified as Witness A, who said they witnessed the situation, stated, "I was smoking a cigarette on the sidewalk when a woman came walking from the opposite side of the road with cars. She was screaming and crying."

Witness A explained that the time the woman walked on the road happened to coincide with the pedestrian green light at the crosswalk, so she did not obstruct vehicle traffic.

It was confirmed that about 30 minutes before roaming Gangnam Boulevard, at around 7:40 a.m., the woman had been sent home by police who responded to a report after she argued with an acquaintance.
