More than 60 Goryeoin men were arrested by the police in a group brawl in the middle of the city due to reimbursement of protection costs.

The Gyeongnam Provincial Police Agency said today (6th) that 23 people were arrested and 40 others were arrested on suspicion of violating the Act on Punishment, including Violence.

On the 20th of last month, they were divided into two gangs in a parking lot at Buwon-dong, Gimhae-si, around 10:15 pm.

More than 60 people, including 37 from Group A and 26 from Group B, were entangled, and were stopped by police officers on patrol in the first 2 minutes.

Some escaped from the scene.

In this case, Kyrgyz nationality A (32) and Kazakhstan nationality B (29) are seriously injured and being treated in a hospital.

It was in the middle of the city center where Gimhae City Hall was located and where there was a lot of floating population.

At that time, it was reported that a police report of a surprised citizen witnessed the scene.

As a result of the survey, it was found that group A is an organizational organization based in the metropolitan area and group B is mainly active in Busan and Gyeongnam.

Group A gathered with a blunt force on the day of the incident to show off their powers because group B refused to pay the nominal fee.

When group B heard that group A was coming, they gathered people to work in the parking lot.

The Gyeongnam Police Department organized a joint investigation team consisting of about 100 people from 16 teams and tracked and arrested the subjects.

Participants in the collective brawl were Goryeos from former Soviet Union countries such as Russia, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan.

They were normally issued visas and stayed in Korea legally.
