There are growing calls for countermeasures to protect apartment security guards as assaults and verbal abuse cases against them continue. Many of them are exposed to abuse, but they bottle up violence against them for fear of losing job.
According to legal community on Tuesday, a studio apartment security guard in his 70s was hit by a female resident in her 30s with her smartphone and a fire extinguisher when he did not open a parking lot breaker. When the guard asked for her apology, the resident kicked his thigh and yelled at him, “Do you want me to hit you again, you bastard?” The court sentenced her to one year in prison and arrested her in court for fear of fleeing.
