An Auburn man accused of smacking a loud 10-year-old at a Kent movie theater could face months in jail if convicted of the felony assault charge now filed against him.

King County prosecutors contend 21-year-old Yong Hyun Kim knocked out one of the boy’s teeth after the child and several other youths refused to quiet down and stop throwing popcorn in April.

According to charging documents, Kim admitted to hitting the boy and appeared ashamed when confronted by police with the boy’s age. Kim allegedly said he thought the boy was an adult when he slapped him in the face.

The Associated Press reports the incident occured during a screening of "Titanic" in 3-D.

At 10:40 p.m. on April 11, Kent police were called to the AMC Theater at 426 Ramsay Way following a complaint that a man had attacked a child there.

Officers arrived to find to find the 10-year-old, his mother and several friends in the theater lobby. The boy was bleeding from the nose and missing a tooth.

The boy told police he wasn’t sure why Kim struck him. He said he was seated in the theater when a man with “long hair and … 3D glasses” stepped over a row of seats and confronted him.

According to the boy’s account, Kim said something to the effect of, “You know what, I paid a lot of money to see this movie” and punched him in the face.

For his part, Kim said the boy and others were talking loudly during the movie and throwing popcorn, some of which landed on him and his girlfriend, a Kent detective told the court.

Kim told police he confronted the group about their behavior, to no avail, the detective continued.

“The group laughed at him and did not quiet down,” the detective said in court documents. “Yong (Kim) said he hit one of the subjects in the face with an open hand.”

“I got so mad that it just happened,” Kim told police, according to charging documents.

Kim was arrested and later gave a lengthy statement to police. The detective noted Kim claimed he didn’t know the boy was so young until police informed him.

“When (the arresting officer) asked Yong (Kim) if he was aware that the person he struck was 10 years old … Yong hung his head down and said he thought the person was a grown man,” the detective told the court.

Kim has been charged with second-degree assault, a felony. Kim, who has no criminal record, was briefly jailed and has since been released.

Hero.

He should have slapped the mom first.

How do you mistake a 10 year old for a grown man? I call BS. I don't blame him for getting mad, but that's not the way to handle it. Should have called an usher to deal with the little brats. And what was the mother doing? Nothing apparently allowing the brat to disrupt other people's enjoyment (yeah, I know it was Titanic - hardy har har). Hope she learns a lesson here, too. Keep your brat in check and this kind of thing won't happen.

Titanic mistake.

I can't wait for the day they invent the people remote, complete with a mute button.

Seriously. Should have knocked all their teeth out. ****ing punks.

I enjoy how this was emphasized.

.

She probably thinks she or her kid did nothing wrong. Because in today world, theres never any personal responsibility whenever your bratty kid gets out of control. Its always someone elses problem.

Say, where has Mecca been lately?

That's why I don't go to movie theaters any more.

I had a similar incident in Denver. (I think I even posted it on here.)

A friend of mine was on-call and at the last minute, got a call to go to another jobsite. So, I just went into the theater alone to watch Big Fish.

I could not have sat at a worse spot: To my left, there's this older gentleman who has the cold. Yet, he takes it upon himself to go to a public theater anyways. :shake:

Behind me, are three kids who love nothing more than kicking the back of my seat even though I asked them politely TWICE! to stop.

To my right, is a young lass who can't go 5 mins without checking her cellphone. Whenever she flips open her phone, the theater is illuminated by the glow of her phone.

Needless to say, I'm pissed. After a few minutes of this, I get up and pretend to lose my balance and grab the back of my seat. This allows me to intentionally drop a big cup of iced soda all over the kids legs seated behind me.

I then hastily move in front of the girls to my right and again pretend to lose my balance, kicking one in the shin and knocking over their bag of popcorn seated on the floor between them.

I find an empty row, a few rows behind everyone, and enjoy the rest of the movie in pure solitude. :p

Same thing happened to my cousin Vinny a while back.

Hopefully Setsuna learned his lesson now that he has lost a tooth due to this behavior. :)

Are people really defending a grown man knocking out a ten year oldkid's tooth by hitting him in the face?
