[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] A man in his 20s who assaulted child sex offender Jodusun with a blunt weapon has been detained.


On the afternoon of the 18th, Judge Lee Ji-young of the Ansan Branch of Suwon District Court held a pre-arrest suspect interrogation (warrant review) for Mr. A (21) and issued an arrest warrant.


The judge explained the reason for issuing the warrant as "the criminal charges are substantiated and there is a risk of flight."


Mr. A, who appeared at the warrant review that day, claimed, "Jodusun was the first to wield the blunt weapon." He did not answer follow-up questions such as "Did Jodusun attack first?"


Mr. A, a day laborer working at a logistics center in Gyeonggi Province, is reported to have gone to Jodusun's residence around 8:50 p.m. on the 16th and committed the act. He introduced himself as a police officer and knocked on the front door of Jodusun's house. When Jodusun opened the door, a scuffle ensued. It was later determined that Mr. A wielded a blunt weapon that was inside the house and swung it.



Jodusun received hospital treatment for a partially torn face but was confirmed not to have sustained serious injuries.
