A woman in her 30s was arrested for punching a senior citizen in his 70s, police in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province said Wednesday.
Police said the woman, surnamed Kim, hit and kicked the man for “staring at her in a way that made her feel uncomfortable.”
She is also accused of assaulting four other citizens who attempted to pull them apart.
The police investigation revealed that Kim had been booked a month earlier for similar allegations of hitting a woman on the streets for “scowling.”
Kim was found to have no previous record of mental disorder.
