A 59-year-old grandmaster intervened with his wife and children after hearing screams near their academy, Yong-in Taekwondo, pinning the suspect for police.
Simon An, a 20-year-old college student, was mindlessly scrolling social media inside his family’s Texas taekwondo school on Tuesday afternoon when he heard an unsettling scream. His father, Han An — a 59-year-old eighth-degree black belt who once served in the South Korean military — immediately sprung to action.
While the two struggled, the man allegedly bit Han on the arm and neck. Simon came to his father’s aid, kicking and punching the man in the chin. His youngest brother, Christian, 18, locked the front entrance and barricaded it with furniture in case the suspect tried to escape, and his mother, Hong, 55, and his sister, Hannah, 22, started ushering the victim to safety in their taekwondo school. “She was pretty shaken up,” Simon said..
Simon said his father first noticed the suspect about 2 p.m. Tuesday, when he saw him riding a bike around the area. Then, after returning from a meal break around 4 p.m., he saw through the store window that the man appeared to be hugging the victim and “thought nothing of it,” Simon said.
