A woman in her 30s was arrested for punching a senior citizen in his 70s, police in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province said Wednesday.

Police said the woman, surnamed Kim, hit and kicked the man for “staring at her in a way that made her feel uncomfortable.”

She is also accused of assaulting four other citizens who attempted to pull them apart.

The police investigation revealed that Kim had been booked a month earlier for similar allegations of hitting a woman on the streets for “scowling.”

Kim was found to have no previous record of mental disorder.
