Police in Daegu said Thursday they have arrested a man on suspicion of fatally pushing his girlfriend during an argument.

According to the Daegu Jungbu Police Precinct, the suspect allegedly shoved his girlfriend during a dispute at around 1 a.m. on Sunday on a street in Dongseong-ro, Jung District, Daegu. He is charged with assault resulting in death.

The victim reportedly fell and struck her head, losing consciousness. She was taken to a hospital after witnesses alerted authorities, but never regained consciousness and was later declared brain-dead. She died on Wednesday.

Police said they arrested the suspect without a warrant after determining the charges were substantiated through their investigation, including an analysis of surveillance footage. Officers plan to seek a warrant for his detention in the coming days.
