Two United States Secret Service agents who were assigned to President Joe Biden’s trip to Asia are being sent back home after one of them was investigated in relation to an assault.

The agent was arrested in the early hours of Thursday in South Korea after he got into a fight with a local over a taxi, a police official from Yongsan district told Reuters. The incident took place outside the Grand Hyatt hotel where Biden was scheduled to stay as part of his five-day Asia trip that began on May 20.
