Busan: Police in the southeastern port city of Busan said Sunday a Honduran diplomat is under investigation for allegedly harassing and assaulting another passenger while inebriated on a Busan subway train in June. The Haeundae Police Station said they have booked the diplomat without physical detention. The alleged incident took place around 6:30 a.m. on June 19, when the diplomat, whose identity was withheld, harassed a fellow male passenger and then physically assaulted him. The diplomat is said to have been drunk at the time.

According to Yonhap News Agency, police have reviewed closed-circuit television footage of the incident. The diplomat works out of the Honduran Embassy in Seoul and was in Busan last month on a business trip. Police are awaiting the Honduran Embassy's response on whether diplomatic immunity will be exercised in this case.
