[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] An SBS drama PD was arrested by the police on charges of assaulting pedestrians in the middle of the street while intoxicated.

MBC Newsdesk reported on the 5th that on the 1st, PD A from SBS Drama Department was caught in Hannam-dong as a suspect for spraying soju on a pedestrian and committing indiscriminate assault.

According to the footage released by MBC, A, intoxicated, sprayed soju on a pedestrian, and when the group protested and tried to take away the soju bottle, he resisted and engaged in a physical fight.

When A threw the bottle and struck the pedestrians' faces, the pedestrians retaliated, escalating the situation into a group fight.

After being arrested by the police, A caused a disturbance at the police substation by shouting and reportedly used sexually explicit insults toward a female police officer in her 20s.

The police have booked A on charges of injury, special assault, and insult.

Police investigation revealed that A was the PD in charge of directing an SBS Monday-Tuesday drama last year.
