The person who threw coffee at actor Yoo Ah-in when leaving the Mapo police station in May last year is reportedly the same 15-year-old who attacked People Power Party lawmaker Bae Hyun-jin last month.
The unidentified middle schooler told investigators that he was waiting in front of a hair salon known for having many celebrity customers, hoping to get autographs.
People Power Party lawmaker, Bae Hyun-jin, assaulted on Thursday by an assailant claiming to be 15 years old, was repeatedly struck 17 times in 18 seconds.
The medical staff at Soon Chun Hyang University Hospital in Seoul said they had to twice surgically close a cut on the scalp of People Power Party lawmaker Bae Hyun-jin, following an attack earlier in the day on Thursday.
She is the second politician to be attacked since Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung on Jan. 2.
