[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] A man in his 60s who caused a disturbance in Pyeongsan Village, Yangsan City, Gyeongnam, where former President Moon Jae-in's residence is located, was arrested by the police. Another protester who bit a police officer's wrist during the arrest was also taken into custody.

The Yangsan Police Station in Gyeongnam announced on the 13th that they arrested Mr. A (male, in his 60s), who was holding a solo protest near former President Moon's residence, on charges of violating the Minor Offenses Act.

On the afternoon of the 12th, around 3:30 PM, Mr. A shouted "Arrest Moon Jae-in" on the road near the residence. Despite multiple warnings from the police, Mr. A ignored them and continued causing a disturbance, refusing to comply with the police's request for identification. The police judged that there was a risk of evasion and denial of residence, and arrested Mr. A on the spot for violating the Minor Offenses Act.

Another protester, Ms. B (female, in her 60s), who was watching Mr. A's arrest, suddenly became agitated and bit the wrists of two police officers. The police arrested Ms. B on charges of obstructing official duties.

After confirming their identities, both Mr. A and Ms. B were released. The police plan to summon them soon to investigate the exact circumstances of the incident.
