A man in his 60s who stalked a woman living next door and repeatedly went to her house to knock on the door was arrested after wielding a weapon at police officers who responded to the report.

On the 21st, the Samsan Police Station in Incheon announced that they had apprehended and were investigating Mr. A (67, male) on charges of violating the Act on the Punishment of Stalking Crimes and Obstruction of Official Duties.

Mr. A is accused of kicking the door and shouting at the neighboring apartment of a woman in her 40s, Ms. B, who lives in Samsan-dong, Bupyeong-gu, Incheon, around 5:25 p.m. on the 20th. It was also found that he knocked on Ms. B’s front door several times on the day of the incident.

The police responded to Ms. B’s report that “a man from the neighboring house is threatening me in front of my house” and arrested Mr. A on the spot.

During the process, Mr. A strongly resisted by wielding a weapon he brought from his home. The standoff lasted about 40 to 50 minutes, and the police eventually subdued him using a taser gun.

Ms. B was not under personal protection, but it was confirmed that she had filed several similar damage reports in the past.

The police plan to investigate the exact circumstances and motive of the crime with Mr. A and consider applying for an arrest warrant.
