[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] A man in his 40s who broke a glass entrance door at a police substation after being investigated for a domestic violence case was caught in the act by the police.

The Yeongdeungpo Police Station in Seoul announced on the 8th that they have arrested A (46) on the spot on charges of damaging public property and are currently investigating him.

According to the police, A is accused of forcefully pushing and breaking a glass door measuring 90 cm wide and 210 cm tall at the Daerim 3 Police Substation under Yeongdeungpo Police Station at around 3:40 p.m. the previous day.

During the incident, the glass door came off its frame and shattered on the floor, but fortunately, no one was injured.

It was reported that A was intoxicated at the time of the incident. Earlier, on the 21st of last month, A was reported to the police for a domestic violence case involving his foreign wife, and police officers from the Daerim 3 Police Substation responded and handed A over to the Women and Juvenile Division.

The police later separated A’s wife from him and sent her to a protective agency. It is known that A contacted the police substation about twice over the following two weeks, expressing dissatisfaction with the police’s separation measures and handling of the case.

The police are investigating the detailed circumstances and motives of the crime.
