[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] It has been confirmed that Mr. A, a man in his 30s known as a former baseball player turned gangster, was stabbed by Mr. B in the city center.

On the 13th, Busan Jungbu Police Station announced that they have apprehended Mr. B, a man in his 30s who stabbed Mr. A, a member of the Shin 20th Century faction, with a weapon, and are reviewing an arrest warrant on charges of aggravated assault.

According to the police, at around 12:35 a.m. on the 29th, Mr. A was stabbed multiple times in his left leg with a weapon by Mr. B, a junior from the same neighborhood, on the street in Bupyeong-dong, Jung-gu, Busan.

Mr. B voluntarily appeared at the police station and is currently under investigation, stating, "Mr. A had been bullying me regularly, which led to the crime."

Mr. A has reportedly been discharged from the hospital and is recovering his health.

In January, Mr. A was also booked by the police for mutual assault on the street in Nampo-dong, Jung-gu. The other party was Mr. C, a junior from the same organization, who was reportedly carrying a weapon at the time.

Recently, incidents involving gangsters and weapons have been occurring one after another.

In May of last year, a member of the Chilseong faction, holding a grudge after losing a fistfight with the Shin 20th Century faction, stabbed a Shin 20th Century member with a weapon on the street near Munhyeon Intersection.

In the same month, at a funeral hall in Seo-gu, a dispute between the two organizations escalated into a disturbance where they threatened each other with blunt weapons.

The police stated, "Recent gangster incidents should be seen as a kind of power struggle over territory or pride."

A representative from Jungbu Police Station said, "We plan to thoroughly investigate and punish to prevent these gang fights from spreading and causing anxiety among merchants."
