An incident occurred at Yonsei University Sinchon Campus where a man wearing only a black mask and no clothes sexually assaulted a female student and then ran away, prompting police to pursue him.

According to police on August 20, the Seodaemun Police Station in Seoul received a 112 emergency call at around 10:10 p.m. the previous day, reporting that an unidentified man had sexually assaulted a female student near the Yonsei University Sinchon Campus dormitory. The victim was known to be a female student currently attending Yonsei University.

At the time, the man was reportedly not wearing any clothes except for a black mask. He approached the victim from behind near the dormitory, touched parts of her body, and immediately left the scene. After the incident, he fled along a forest path in the direction of Ansan, adjacent to the campus.

Upon receiving the report, the police arrived at the scene, collected a statement from the victim on the circumstances, and began analyzing footage from closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras installed in and around the crime scene. Notably, since the suspect fled toward the forest path immediately after the crime, the investigation is focusing on identifying the suspect’s movements and identity based on the CCTV recordings.

A representative of the Seoul Seodaemun Police Station stated, "We are conducting an investigation, including collecting CCTV footage." The police announced that once the suspect’s identity is confirmed, a detailed investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crime will be carried out.
