– On the 8th at 4:50 pm, it is a road in Namyang-myeon, Hwaseong City, Gyeonggi-do. A black car blocked the front of the white car that had just entered. Afterwards, four foreign men armed with blunt weapons began to slam the white car. The driver and passenger of a white vehicle who could not avoid because the front and rear were blocked by vehicles were ruthlessly assaulted by these gangs.
The scene of the assault was recorded in the black box behind the car. This video was spread through online communities with titles such as’Mars Foreigners Do Not Ask Assault’.
Police arrested 9 foreigners who participated in the assault, and 1 person who helped escape
– In the video, all foreigners who assaulted the driver and passenger were caught by the police. It was known as’don’t ask assault’, but it was confirmed as a thoroughly planned crime targeting the victims.
On the 23rd, the violent criminal investigation team of the Gyeonggi Southern Police Agency announced on the 23rd that it had arrested nine foreigners, including Mr. A (45), on charges of special injury and damage to special property. Seven people, including Mr. A, are Uzbek nationals, and one foreigner from Russia and Kazakhstan was included. In addition, a foreign woman (Uzbekistan) who helped Mr. A’s escape was arrested on charges of evading the criminal.
Mr. A and others are accused of damaging and assaulting foreigners B (39, Russia) and C (40, Ukraine) on a road on the other side of Namyang-myeon, Hwaseong-si on the 8th. B and others were treated at the hospital for a whole body bruise, but it was confirmed that there was no harm to life.
Appears to have committed retaliation over the settlement money issue
– As a result of the police investigation, it was confirmed that this case was planned by Mr. A and others to retaliate against Mr. B and others. Mr. A assaulted Mr. B last September and was caught by the police. At that time, it was released after an agreement with Mr. B, but Mr. B is said to have requested a large settlement.
Here, when one of the acquaintances heard that “Mr. B threatened to report the fact of his illegal stay” and “the drug was stolen”, he decided to retaliate and called Mr. B from Ansan city to Namyang-myeon, Hwaseong-si.

– They mobilized three vehicles to block the road so that Mr. B and others could not escape. A black passenger car blocked the side of the vehicle with Mr. B and others, and blocked the road with a black SUV to prevent them from running away. Another vehicle ordered the crime from a nearby parking lot.
The police, who received reports from witnesses at the scene and initiated the investigation, arrested Mr. A and others in residential areas and motels in Pyeongtaek City and Incheon City, Gyeonggi Province from the 4th to 17th. The police detained six of them to the prosecution on the 19th, and the remaining three are scheduled to be sent on the 25th of this month.
Investigation into whether the police, drug or violence organizations were formed
– The police decided to investigate whether they were involved in drug distribution, as some of the perpetrators stated that “the drug was stolen by Mr. B.”
It was confirmed that one of the arrested persons was caught possessing 80.1 g of synthetic hemp at the time of arrest, and a suspicion of violating the Narcotics Control Act was also confirmed.
The police are sending their hair, etc. to the National Institute of Scientific Investigation to conduct drug substance testing.
As Mr. A and others systematically conspired to commit crimes in advance and blocked the streets with instructions, the possibility that they formed a foreign criminal organization in Korea is also investigating. It is said that there was also information about foreigners gathering around the area.
A police official said, “Through additional investigations, we plan to investigate whether they formed and participated in drug distribution or criminal organizations.”
