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 pm on the 17th.
[Lee Sang-wook/Store owner: I heard a call to save someone, so I just opened the door and ran.
It turns out that the man grabbed the woman's head and dragged it inside...

The store owner and employee overpowered a man who was assaulting a woman here 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.
[Shirin/Turkish resident in Korea: I just came here with the boss because I thought I should save a woman.
(The man) wants to run away, so I'll catch it, until the police come.] The
court will remove the employee from the position and go through disciplinary procedures.
