U.S. serviceman arrested in alleged assault
SEOUL, April 28 (Yonhap) -- Police said Tuesday that they have arrested a U.S. serviceman over an alleged assault on a South Korean employee at a local club after being drunk.
The 29-year-old U.S. soldier, whose name has not been revealed, was arrested Sunday on accusations of hitting a South Korean employee's face with a brick at a club located in the central Seoul.
Police said the sergeant was kicked out of the club after being too drunk and was protesting against the move when he made the assault.
He was immediately arrested and was handed over to the U.S. military police. Police said they will summon the soldier for further investigation in the near future.
In a separate case, another 28-year-old U.S. sergeant was also questioned by police on Sunday after fighting with three South Koreans.
