[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Soyoung] A man in his 40s who wielded a weapon and injured a neighboring family involved in an inter-floor noise dispute has been arrested by the police.

On the 15th, Incheon Nonhyeon Police Station announced that they had arrested a man in his 40s, identified as A, on suspicion of attempted murder.

A is accused of wielding a weapon at three family members ? a couple in their 50s, B and spouse, and their child in their 20s ? at a villa in Namdong-gu, Incheon, around 4:50 p.m. that day, attempting to kill them.

Currently, B’s family has been transported to a nearby hospital by the 119 emergency medical team for treatment. Among them, B’s wife sustained serious injuries after being stabbed in the neck, while B and their child suffered minor injuries.

Investigations revealed that B’s family lived in the unit below A’s residence. During the incident, A sustained minor injuries to his hands and head and received hospital treatment.

Earlier that day, around 12:50 p.m., A visited B’s family home causing a disturbance. He was apprehended by police who responded to a noise complaint related to inter-floor noise filed by B. A was notified to appear at the police station on charges of causing anxiety under the Minor Offenses Act and then returned home.

However, about four hours later, A returned to B’s residence, caused another disturbance, and committed the crime. Police are investigating the exact circumstances, believing the incident stemmed from conflicts over inter-floor noise between A and B’s family.

The police stated, "A has completed medical treatment and is currently being questioned at the police station," adding, "We plan to apply for an arrest warrant once the investigation is complete."
