A 40-YEAR-OLD Korean woman was detained at the Lapu-Lapu police station on Sunday after she caused a disturbance by her continuous yelling inside a casino in Lapu-Lapu City.
Then at the detention cell, Hei Won Yang attacked another detainee and later tried to commit suicide.
At the detention cell, police said Hei continued yelling.
When another female detainee complained, police said Hei attacked her.
