A report was filed with the police last night (June 14) regarding a woman in her 30s lying on the ground in the middle of Gangnam, Seoul, appearing to be under the influence of drugs. As the woman fell, vials of propofol and syringes spilled out, and it is reported that evidence of her self-administering the drug at the scene was also discovered.

Reporter Kim Gyu-ri has the story.

A woman is lying on the street, and people have gathered to check on her condition.

Around 10:00 p.m. last night, a 112 emergency call was received near an exit of Sinnonhyeon Station on the Seoul Subway, stating, "A woman is lying on the sidewalk, appearing to be under the influence of drugs."

[Audio from 112 call: A woman is there with a white container and a syringe, unable to come to her senses. Her eyes are completely unfocused. You need to come quickly.]

It is reported that when the woman collapsed, several vials containing propofol and syringes spilled out from a shopping bag she was carrying.

The woman, in her 30s, identified as A, reportedly took out a syringe and injected herself with propofol even as she repeatedly fell down.

[Witness: At first, I thought she was drunk because she kept falling to the ground. When she was right in front of me, she drew the propofol solution into a syringe and injected it into herself.]

The police, who arrived following the report, have booked A, who is known to work at a nearby hospital, on charges of possession of narcotics and are currently investigating.

The police questioned an associate from the hospital where A works as a witness, and it is reported that they obtained a statement to the effect that it was a "legal administration for medical purposes."

However, the police are investigating whether the propofol administration process was lawful, as there were many suspicious circumstances regarding A's condition at the time she was found.

Around 12:10 a.m. today, another report was filed by a passerby regarding two women in their 20s lying on a main street in Gangnam, Seoul, while appearing to be under the influence of drugs.

The police arrived and arrested them on the spot. A rapid test conducted on both women returned positive results for drugs.

The police are questioning the two individuals to determine where they obtained the drugs and how they administered them.
