[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Juri] A woman in her 50s who threatened a high school student with a weapon on the subway was arrested by the police.


According to Incheon Gyeyang Police Station on the 16th, Ms. A is accused of threatening a high school student B (16) with a weapon inside a train passing through Jakjeon Station on Incheon Subway Line 1 at around 8:25 p.m. the previous day.


Ms. A threatened Mr. B while holding the weapon, saying, "Get out of the seat before I kill you," and other passengers witnessed this. At the time, Mr. B was sitting in a regular seat, not in a seat reserved for pregnant women or the disabled.


The police, who responded to Mr. B's report, arrested Ms. A on the spot after finding her fleeing through the ticket gate after getting off the train.


Ms. A, who was found to be unemployed, reportedly stated, "I did it because someone was chasing me."


There were other passengers on the train besides Mr. B at the time, but no casualties occurred.



The police plan to investigate the motive behind Ms. A's crime.
