Hitting the grandmother's head with a chrysanthemum flower in her hand,



[Student offender: ○○.

Don't touch it!]



He threatens to buy you a cigarette instead.



[Student of the perpetrator: Will you buy me cigarettes or not?

Just say that.]



Friends filming the video laugh together.



The impatient grandmother asks, but she doesn't listen.

student: 17! seventeen! Seventeen!] It



happened in Chang-dong, Yeoju-si, Gyeonggi-do, around 11:30 pm on the 25th.

woman in her mid-60s is known to make a living by selling vegetables in the market in front of the statue.

interrogation, the victim's grandmother met with high school students asking them to buy cigarettes, but she said she would forgive her.



[Grandma victim: I promised not to do it next time.]



Last night (27th), the police received a report about the video and plan to call the perpetrators and investigate them soon.



The school of the perpetrators said that they would decide whether to take disciplinary action based on the results of the police investigation.
