[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] A man who hit his neighbor with a blunt weapon over a parking dispute was arrested on the spot.

Gwangju Gwangsan Police Station announced on the 13th that they have booked A (57) on charges of attempted murder.

A is accused of hitting B (37), who lives nearby, on the head with a blunt weapon in the parking lot of the one-room building where he resides in Sinchang-dong, Gwangsan-gu, the previous afternoon.

A had parked more than two vehicles in a parking lot with a total of five spaces, which caused B to feel inconvenienced and protest, leading to an argument.

When B made remarks belittling A’s occupation, A took a blunt weapon from his home and committed the crime, according to the investigation.

B was taken to the hospital for treatment and is reported to be in stable condition without life-threatening injuries.

The police plan to apply for an arrest warrant for A after accurately determining the circumstances of the incident, and the pre-arrest suspect interrogation (warrant hearing) is expected to be held within this week.
