Three U.S. soldiers have been caught for alleged sexual harassment of a South Korean woman on a subway train and three others are being sought for their involvement, police said Sunday.

The half-dozen American soldiers, whose identities have been withheld, are accused of harassing a 20-year-old South Korean woman around 9:16 p.m. on Saturday on a train on the subway line No. 1.

Police said the soldiers danced to loud music on the train, and the woman asked them to be quiet. The soldiers then started harassing her while filming their act at the same time.

Police said they detained three of the soldiers and turned them over to the U.S. military police, while three others, who fled the scene, remain at large. (Yonhap News)
