The son of the Saudi Arabian ambassador to South Korea faces indictment for alleged drunken violence at a police station in Seoul's Itaewon district.
The son, 29, is not protected by diplomatic immunity. People convicted of causing trouble inside a government building such as a police station can be fined up to 600,000 won ($522).
According to Yongsan Police Station, the son, whose full name was withheld, came into a substation in Itaewon drunk at around 6:30 a.m., Sunday.
He reportedly asked police officers to take him home because he had "no money." When they refused, he became violent, yelling "F*** K****" and racist comments, and punching the main gate. Police then detained him.
On April 9, another Saudi Arabian diplomat's teenage son was booked for stealing clothes at a nightclub in Itaewon.
