On the 12th, the Ansan Danwon Police Station in Gyeonggi Province booked two men in their 30s of Russian nationality, including Mr. A, and three men in their 40s of Uzbek nationality, including Mr. B, on charges of special injury and special assault.

About 10 foreigners were captured participating in the group brawl, but the police narrowed it down to about five after confirming the degree of involvement. The incident occurred around 6 p.m. on the 28th of last month at a camping site near Bangameori Beach in Daebubuk-dong, Danwon-gu, Ansan, Gyeonggi Province.
According to the police investigation, they met each other for the first time at the camping site. At that time, one group first proposed a drinking party, and during this process, when one side used abusive language, a dispute arose, which soon escalated into a fight.
The brawl involved not only punches and kicks but also baseball bats. Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported. It was also reported that there were women among those who engaged in the brawl.
A witness who saw the brawl on that day told KBS, "Suddenly, foreigners came out of a car carrying weapons, and the fight started. There were many people at the camping site at the time, and everyone was surprised and called the police."
The police plan to send them to the prosecution as soon as the investigation is completed.
Uzbekistan was one of the republics that made up the Soviet Union from 1924 to 1991. Uzbekistan became independent with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and established diplomatic relations with Russia on March 20, 1992.
