A Man in His 40s Wielded a Weapon at a Gosiwon Manager Who Told Him to "Be Quiet"... Police Request Arrest Warrant

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] The police have requested an arrest warrant for a man in his 40s who attempted to stab a gosiwon manager with a weapon.

According to the police on the 28th, the Gwangjin Police Station in Seoul applied for an arrest warrant yesterday for Mr. A, who is suspected of attempted murder.

Mr. A, on the 26th at around 10:50 PM, came into a gosiwon in Gunja-dong, Gwangjin-gu, where he resides, after drinking and caused a disturbance. When the gosiwon manager, Mr. B, tried to quiet him down, Mr. A is accused of retrieving a weapon from his room and following Mr. B to the rooftop of the building to stab him.

At the time of the incident, Mr. B resisted and blocked Mr. A, reportedly avoiding serious injury. Before going to the rooftop, Mr. A also assaulted Mr. B by hitting his face in the gosiwon hallway. However, since Mr. B did not wish to press charges, the assault charge, which is a semi-public offense, was excluded, and only the attempted murder charge was applied.

The police responded to a witness's report and arrested Mr. A at the scene. During the police investigation, Mr. A reportedly stated, "I do not remember because I was intoxicated."
