Settlement Reached for 600,000 Won, but Arrest Warrant Requested for Assailant

The police have requested an arrest warrant for a Korean manager who indiscriminately assaulted a foreign worker at a factory in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province.

According to Yonhap News on April 30, Hwaseong Western Police Station has applied for a pre-arrest warrant for Mr. A, a factory manager in his 40s, on charges of causing bodily injury. Mr. A is accused of indiscriminately assaulting a Vietnamese worker in his 20s, Mr. B, at the dormitory of a cosmetics container manufacturer in Hwaseong last November, including punching Mr. B in the face and headbutting him, for a total of at least 22 assaults.

As a result, Mr. B suffered injuries including a concussion, and it is reported that a settlement was reached after Mr. B received 600,000 won from Mr. A's side, including coverage for medical expenses. Mr. B has since recovered from his injuries and is said to have no lasting aftereffects. It was confirmed that Mr. B is residing in Korea legally.

After the incident came to light through the media, the police questioned both the victim and Mr. A on April 29. It has been reported that Mr. A admitted to the charges during the police investigation.

A police official stated, "We determined that an arrest investigation is necessary, considering the nature of the assault and the extent of the victim's injuries."
