:SKorean police to investigate zoo assault
- South Korean police, in one of their more heavyweight cases, are investigating whether a zoo elephant threw a stone at a woman visitor.
- The woman surnamed Kim told police she was visiting the zoo at the Children?s Grand Park in southeast Seoul on Monday when she noticed an elephant picking up a stone with its trunk.
- After she turned away from 35-year-old Taesani, she was hit on the back of her head by a large stone, several newspapers reported.
- She reported the incident to police in Gwangjin district who began an investigation. They found that the scene of the alleged assault was out of range of security cameras.
- "Though Ms Kim believes the elephant threw a stone at her, it?s hard to conclude that the elephant attacked her since there are neither witnesses nor evidence," Dong-A Ilbo newspaper quoted a police source as saying.
