Factory Owner Accused of Air Gun Assault on Foreign Worker

A shocking incident has emerged from Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province, where a factory owner stands accused of brutally assaulting a foreign worker with an air gun. The 60-year-old proprietor, identified as Mr. A, has been summoned by the Gyeonggi Nambu Provincial Police Agency for questioning regarding charges of special injury and assault. The victim, a Thai national in his 40s, reportedly suffered a ruptured intestine after being shot in the buttocks with an air gun on February 20th. Adding to the brutality, Mr. A is also accused of applying a dangerous 'headlock' to the worker. This case highlights the vulnerable position of migrant workers in some industrial settings and raises serious questions about workplace safety and the treatment of foreign labor. While Mr. A has reportedly claimed the act was 'a joke' in media interviews, the severity of the injuries suggests a far more sinister reality. Police have taken the serious step of prohibiting his departure from the country and are meticulously examining evidence, including the air gun itself, to piece together the full extent of this disturbing event. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities committed to uncovering the truth and ensuring accountability.
