"It was like ignoring my son with autism."
A man in his 40s has been arrested by the police for assaulting and swearing at the bus driver for asking his son walking around the bus to sit down.
According to the police today (11th), Incheon Yeonsu Police Station booked A (49) without detention on charges of assaulting a driver on a running city bus (attacking a driver under the Act on Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes).
Mr. A is accused of assaulting and swearing at Mr. B, a 40-year-old driver, several times in a bus stopped in front of a bus stop in Dongchun-dong, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon at around 9 pm on the 7th.
Mr. A, who was intoxicated at the time, took a bus with his wife and a son with autism.
It turned out that when Mr. B asked a child walking around in the bus, "There is a risk of an accident, but please sit down", Mr. A approached the driver's seat and assaulted him.
At that time, CCTV inside the bus containing the assault scene showed that Mr. A grabbed Mr. B's hair and shook it, and his wife blocked it with her body and dried it.
To the police who were dispatched after receiving the report, Mr. A stated, "I did it because my son had autism and he seemed to be ignoring it."
On the other hand, Mr. B claimed that Mr. A threatened and insulted him even at the police box, such as 'cutting his head' and 'Doesn't it make more money by being beaten than by working and earning money?'
The police requested Mr. A to attend, and we plan to investigate the specific circumstances and motives of the crime.
