Mr. Sung also presented himself at the station with an interpreter.

Naratip and the woman told police that it was a misunderstanding of communication. The Korean man cannot speak English and they cannot speak Korean. This led to an escalating argument on both sides, they agreed.

Mr. Sung has decided not to take any legal action against them and accepted their apologies for the incident.
