[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] A man in his 50s wearing an electronic ankle bracelet threatened a passing woman on the street and was arrested by the police.

According to the police on the 4th, Mr. A, in his 50s, is suspected of threatening a woman in her 60s who was passing through Sangbong-dong, Jungnang-gu, around 7:30 p.m. the previous day.

At the time, Mr. A was intoxicated. He reportedly suddenly cursed at the unknown woman and threatened her by saying, "I am wearing an electronic ankle bracelet, should I kill you?"

The police, who responded to the victim's report, tracked Mr. A together with the probation office and the CCTV control center. They found and urgently arrested Mr. A after two hours.

During the investigation, it was revealed that Mr. A was indeed required to wear an electronic ankle bracelet and had a criminal record of 15 offenses, including sex crimes.

When asked about the reason for the threat, Mr. A initially denied it, saying he did not remember, then incoherently denied the crime by saying, "I did not threaten to that extent."

The police are investigating the detailed circumstances and are considering applying for an arrest warrant.
