TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Three foreign fishery workers were arrested this morning after they disturbed the peace, assaulted a reporter, and harassed a woman in front of a 7-Eleven in the southern Taiwanese city of Kaohsiung, reported CNA.
A preliminary investigation by the Yancheng Branch of the Kaohsiung Police Department showed that the three men involved in the altercation included two Burmese nationals and an American-Korean. At 2 a.m. this morning, after drinking heavily at a 7-Eleven on Wufu 4th Road in Kaohsiung City, one of the Burmese men sat on a sidewalk and started to cause a disturbance, prompting neighbors to call the police.
When police arrived on the scene, they tried to persuade the bare-chested man to leave. However, he refused and when police tried to take him into custody, he violently resisted.
A struggle ensued and police used pepper spray to subdue him and arrested him. The second Burmese man then joined his compatriot in the squad car. [FULL STORY]
