"Drunk man in his 40s indiscriminately assaults female cafe owner in Andong"... Hospitalized with concussion; police investigate [Video]

[Financial News] Police have launched an investigation after receiving a report that a man in his 40s indiscriminately assaulted a female cafe owner in her 50s in Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do.
According to Andong Police Station and others on the 10th, a report was received that at around 3 p.m. the previous day, a man in his 40s, identified as A, hurled abuse at B, a female cafe owner in her 50s, and hit her several times in the face and back of the head at a cafe in Nambu-dong, Andong.
The cafe said that A, who was drunk at the time, verbally abused and indiscriminately assaulted B for no apparent reason. It also posted footage from the cafe’s internal CCTV system on social media (SNS), saying, "I was subjected to an unprovoked assault by an unidentified drunk male customer."
The woman who was assaulted reportedly showed symptoms including those of a concussion and is hospitalized for treatment. The cafe has decided to suspend business for the time being so the owner can receive treatment and recover.
Police believe A assaulted B, the female owner, because the food he ordered was served late at the time of the incident. They plan to secure evidence, including CCTV footage, and question the victim.
A police official said, "The victim is too shaken by the incident to be questioned right away, so we are coordinating a schedule," adding, "We will secure relevant materials, including CCTV footage, and investigate the exact circumstances of the incident."
Meanwhile, as the CCTV footage has spread on social media and other platforms, calls for severe punishment of the assailant have grown among netizens. They called for strong punishment, saying, "This is a world where people like this run wild because the punishments are too lenient" and "I hope she makes a speedy recovery and that the perpetrator receives a punishment that makes sense."
