[이데일리 홍수현 기자] A Korean couple in Australia were misunderstood as Chinese and were indiscriminately beaten.
On the 26th (local time), Australian Nine News reported that a Korean couple was assaulted by a man in his 60s while fishing along the Brisbane River in northeastern Queensland.

The man came up to the couple and swore at them, saying, “Fucking Chinese” and “Fuck the Chinese” and brandished a fishing rod.
The man continued to use racially discriminatory language and swear words and tried to hit the couple, and did not stop despite the dissuade.
The couple asked if they were not Chinese and what made them so angry, but the man gave no answer.
He insisted that they stole it long following, and made an outrageous demand to see the items in the bag.

Eventually, the couple sought help from the police to resolve the situation.
The man was taken to the detention center following fighting with the police for more than 30 minutes. He was released following paying a fine of 391 dollars (520,000 won), but the investigation is expected to continue.
Meanwhile, according to the police, the man is known as a person of interest who usually has a lot of conflicts with nearby residents. The Korean couple did not file a separate complaint, and their whereregardings are unknown.
