A man comes out of the prosecutor's office on a stretcher and is then taken to an ambulance.
The man who was taken to the hospital was broadcaster Park Soo-hong.
At around 10:20 am today (the 4th), Mr. Park, who was going to be investigated for embezzlement of his brother's appearance fee, was assaulted by his father in the investigation room of the Western District Prosecutor's Office in Seoul.
At that time, there were Mr. Park, Mr. Park's older brother, brother-in-law, and Mr. Park's father, who was a witness.
The father told SBS reporters that Park kicked his shin in anger because he didn't even say hello to his family.

[Park Soo-Hong's father: If I saw him after a year and a half, I should say hello.
He's a child, but he doesn't say hello.
So I kicked the shin.]
Mr. Park, who showed symptoms of hyperventilation immediately after the assault, was treated at the hospital.
Park's lawyers said that after the accusation of his older brother, he continued to receive threats from his father to the effect of "harm with a weapon", and that he was wearing a sword at the time of the assault.
Previously, in April of last year, Park filed a complaint stating that his older brother and brother-in-law embezzled more than 10 billion won by embezzling appearance fees for decades, and the older brother was arrested on the 13th of last month.
Prosecutors explained, "I didn't expect a father in his 80s to accidentally beat his son in his 50s right before the investigation."
The prosecution, which failed to conduct a cross-examination, plans to complete the investigation within this week after additionally confirming the facts.
