A court official in his thirties was caught trying to rape a woman in a women’s toilet in a shopping mall. Citizens rushed to the call for help and overpowered the man.
Reporter Sungil Choi’s report.
A man grabs and pulls a woman from behind.
The woman is pushed against the wall several times and then beaten.
People who heard the scream jumped in haste, and it was only after the perpetrator was held back that the woman could leave the scene.
A woman managed to escape from a man trying to sexually assault in a women’s bathroom in a building in Songpa-gu, Seoul, at around 11 p.m. on the 17th.

A man who was assaulting a woman here was suppressed by the store owner and employees and reported it to the police.
Kim Mo, a man in his 30s who was caught as a result of a police investigation, was a public servant of the Seoul Eastern District Court.
Kim is known to have told the police that he was drunk and entered the women’s bathroom.
Until the police arrived at the scene, the situation could be more damaging if there was no help from the people around them.
An employee of a nearby store ran first to save the victim, a Turkish woman in her twenties who came to Korea on a working holiday.

The court will remove the employee from the position and seek disciplinary proceedings.
