[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] A man in his 20s who threatened an elementary school girl with a weapon and was dragging her to the rooftop of an apartment fell from the apartment and died.

Incheon Nonhyeon Police Station announced on the 16th that at around 5:03 p.m. on the 15th, A (21, male) fell to the first-floor flower bed near the rooftop of a 15-story apartment in Nonhyeon-dong, Namdong-gu, Incheon.

Due to this accident, A suffered severe head and back injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital by the 119 emergency medical team for treatment but ultimately passed away.

On that day, A was reportedly threatening an elementary school girl, B, who lived in the apartment, with a weapon and tried to drag her to the rooftop.

According to the police investigation, when a neighbor who heard B's call for help opened the door and came out to report to the police, A jumped out of the window near the stairs leading to the rooftop.

The police are currently investigating the exact circumstances based on closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage around the apartment where the accident occurred and witness statements.
