Reading Text

학원을 마치고 귀가하던 고등학교 3학년 학생이 일면식도 없는 남성에게 폭행을 당했다는 제보가 오늘(14일) JTBC 〈사건반장〉을 통해 보도됐습니다.

A report was filed today (14th) through JTBC's "Crime Squad" that a high school 3rd-year student was assaulted by a stranger while returning home from a private academy.

제보자인 학생의 어머니에 따르면, 지난달 16일 인천의 한 건물 앞 공영주차장에서 아들 A군이 모르는 남성에게 폭행을 당했습니다.

According to the student's mother, who filed the report, A's son was assaulted by an unknown man in a public parking lot in front of a building in Incheon last month on the 16th.

그런데 그때, A군과 눈이 마주친 남성은 "뭘 쳐다봐, 개XX야!"라며 욕설을 하더니 달려들어 때리기 시작했습니다.

However, at that time, the man who made eye contact with A suddenly cursed at him saying "What are you looking at, you damn XX!" and then rushed at him and started beating him.

한 목격자는 "당시 남성이 여성의 얼굴을 때리길래 말렸더니 나를 때리려고 해서 도망쳤다"며 "그때 남성이 서 있는 A군을 발견하고 달려가 폭행하기 시작했다"는 취지로 말했습니다.

One eyewitness said, "At the time, the man was hitting a woman's face, so I tried to stop him, but he tried to hit me too, so I ran away," and "Then the man found A standing there and rushed over and started assaulting him."

이날 폭행 피해자만 A군을 포함해 6명에 달했습니다.

On that day, the assault victims numbered 6, including A.

사건 발생 직후 응급실로 옮겨진 A군은 뇌진탕 진단을 받고 코뼈가 골절돼 수술까지 받았습니다.

After the incident, A was taken to the emergency room and was diagnosed with a concussion and had a fractured nose, requiring surgery.

남성은 경찰에 현행범으로 체포됐습니다.

The man was arrested by the police on the spot.
