JTBC's Press Screen Quotation

Amid an incident in which the U.S. Forces Korea assaulted a teenage male student, the victim's father reported the damage, saying, "It's amazing that the doctor didn't die."

On the 18th, the Pyeongtaek Police Station in Gyeonggi Province criminally booked Sergeant A of the U.S. Forces Korea in his 30s on charges of injury.

Earlier, Sergeant A is accused of seriously injuring B by punching him in the face on a street near Pyeongtaek Station in Pyeongtaek City at around 0:30 p.m. on the 17th.

Sergeant A is said to be 190 centimeters tall and weighs 100 kilograms.

According to a JTBC report on the 19th, B's father said, "What I heard from the doctor was, 'I didn't think a person hit me,'" adding, "It's the first time I've seen a person's joints go out like this when he's a plastic surgeon."It was said.

It is known that B must wear prosthetics in his mouth and stay fixed for eight weeks, and may have aftereffects for the rest of his life.

However, Lieutenant A claims that he was also assaulted by B, so the police have booked B on charges of assault.

The police believe that Sergeant A and B had a quarrel and led to the assault, and are investigating the exact circumstances of the incident.
