Man Turns Himself In After Kicking Woman on the Streets of Gangnam

On July 10, a man in his 30s, identified as A, was caught on camera kicking a woman from behind as she walked in the Gangnam district of Seoul. The incident occurred in the morning while the woman was on a phone call. A, dressed in black with sunglasses and a mask, followed her for about 50 meters before suddenly kicking her calf and fleeing the scene. The attack took place in a busy area with multiple vehicles passing by.

On July 14, A turned himself in to the police after they narrowed their search to his neighborhood. During questioning, he claimed he acted out of a sudden bad mood and did not know the victim. The woman, who fell to the ground from the shock, was diagnosed with a two-week injury. She expressed her fear, stating that if she had been wearing a shorter skirt, her injury could have been much worse.

Authorities reported that there were no signs of alcohol or drug use at the time of the incident and are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the attack.
