Two Queens women accused of hitting four young South Korean students at a Little Neck tutoring academy were arrested and charged with assault on Wednesday, police said.
Authorities say Min Kyung Chea, 34, who is the academy owner’s wife, and Sun Kyung Park, 33, a teacher at the academy, both of Little Neck, used extreme measures to discipline students at the Crown Tutoring Academy in Queens.
Chea and Park allegedly withheld bathroom and food privileges at the academy for foreign students, and in some cases forcing them to balance books on their heads for hours at a time, according to a statement released by Queens District Attorney Richard Brown.
The victims ranged in age from 9 to 14 years old, according to police.
Chea was charged with attempted assault and endangering the welfare of a child, according to the Queens DA’s office.
Park was also charged with endangering the welfare of a child as well as second-degree assault.
