[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] A man in his 30s, a member of an organized crime group who had his wife in the car, was caught by police after a drug-induced hallucination driving escape attempt, during which he collided with about 10 police cars and other vehicles and fired live rounds while being chased.

Ulsan Southern Police Station announced on the 29th that they have apprehended Mr. A on charges including obstruction of official duties and violation of the Narcotics Control Act, and are currently investigating him.

According to the police, Mr. A was driving a passenger car around 12:15 a.m. that day when he caused a minor collision in the Ulsan District Prosecutor's Office parking lot, damaging the barrier gate, and then fled.

At around 12:50 a.m., police who responded to the report demanded that Mr. A get out of the car, but he refused, hit the patrol car’s front bumper, and began the escape.

Mr. A fled approximately 3.9 km from the Ulsan District Prosecutor's Office, passing through Gong-eop Tower, to the Ulsan City Hall annex parking lot. The police deployed six patrol cars to pursue Mr. A’s vehicle.

Mr. A entered the Ulsan City Hall annex parking lot, and the police fired 11 live rounds and 4 blanks targeting the vehicle’s tires to stop the car.

Even after the vehicle stopped, the police used a Taser on Mr. A, who resisted violently, and finally arrested him about 40 minutes after the chase began. It was reported that his wife was in the car at the time of arrest.

During the escape, Mr. A collided with five patrol cars and nine parked vehicles along the roadside, causing damage. Mr. A tested positive in a preliminary methamphetamine drug test.

The police plan to apply for an arrest warrant once the investigation of Mr. A is completed.
