"Wearing an Electronic Ankle Bracelet, Threatening to Die"…Police Request Arrest Warrant for 50s Man Threatening Woman on the Street
[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] The Jungnang Police Station in Seoul applied for an arrest warrant for A (58) on the 4th on charges of threatening a passing woman on the street by claiming to be wearing an electronic tracking device (electronic anklet).
According to the police, A was arrested on suspicion of verbally abusing a woman in her 60s passing through the streets of Jungnang-gu at around 7:30 p.m. the previous day and threatening her by saying, "I'm wearing an electronic anklet, should I kill you?"
A is reported to be denying the crime, saying that "I spoke more mildly than that."
Police who responded to the victim's report tracked A and escorted him to the police station voluntarily at around 9:20 p.m. During the investigation, the police confirmed that A's appearance matched that of a suspect in a case of threatening a teenage girl on the street on the 22nd of last month, and made an emergency arrest.
