2008.06.28. An injured foreigner

This person who looked like an American was bleeding as he was hit by a riot police's shield. (The riot police usually use their shield for their weapon to attack demonstrator because policing shield is hard and sharp.)
He was near the city council's chamber building and when he was hit, he was running to escape other police's attack toward demonstrators.

There's a 2.5 cm long and 0.5 mm deep scar on his left lip and he said he felt severe pain on his right shoulder. He described the moment that he sensed some light in front of his eyes and felt strong pain on his jar and tooth. He said that he couldn't recognize the face of the offender.

He was healed right after he was hit by the shield. He is now treated in a hospital and he's reportedly said to have some procedure to close the wound with several stitches.


This person later joked that he was lucky because his tooth was not broken, his head was safe and he has some Korean friends who will help him. He also appreciated to the news that the committee which has supported the demonstration will pay his medical expenses. He said that he somewhat worried about that because he had no insurance in this country.

Many Koreans who have known his story through the Internet hoped his well-being.
His story was posted on an website named Agora as his friend promised to let many people know this story.
