Salt Farm Worker Arrested for Assaulting Colleague for Seven Months

A salt farm worker in his 60s has been arrested and sent for trial in Yeonggwang, South Korea, for allegedly assaulting and injuring a colleague over a period of seven months. The suspect is accused of using tools and physical force to inflict harm on the victim.

According to the Yeonggwang Police, the assaults occurred at a salt farm in the region. The investigation revealed that the suspect's abusive behavior persisted for approximately seven months. Police expanded their investigation after obtaining testimony from the victim and witnesses during a separate inquiry into the salt farm's owner and other employees.

This case is part of a broader investigation into the salt farm. Previously, police arrested the owner and two other workers on charges including abuse and wage theft. The owner was specifically accused of mistreating salt farm laborers and withholding their wages. The current arrest of the 60-year-old worker highlights ongoing issues of abuse within the workplace.
