The scene of a group brawl at a park, Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province, Oct. 3\/ Yonhap<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Police said Tuesday they have arrested two people for their alleged involvement in a late-night mass brawl between Central Asian nationals in Pyeongtaek earlier this month.<\/span><\/p>\n

The brawl, involving 21 suspects, took place at around 11:40 p.m. on Oct. 3 at a children’s park in the city, about 60 kilometers south of Seoul, raising safety concerns among residents.<\/p>\n

The Pyeongtaek Police Station said it caught five suspects allegedly involved in the brawl — all of whom are Kazakh or Kyrgyz nationals in their 20s or 30s. It placed two of the five under arrest for alleged assault.<\/p>\n

Police officials have issued exit bans on two other suspects while investigating the whereabouts of 14 others.<\/p>\n

They believe the fight broke out over a past dispute and is unrelated to gang activity. Most of the suspects are believed to be day laborers, with three of the five apprehended suspects being undocumented migrants.<\/p>\n
