While the restaurant owner was filing a report to police, the suspect reportedly assaulted a customer by throwing a soju bottle at the person.
It appears he suddenly broke into an outburst while drinking alone.
He served a five-month prison term from November 2017 and was booked again on April 26 and May 9 under the suspicion of assault, according to police.
Police said he had been imprisoned 16 times for similar crimes.
