[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] A man who stormed into a police substation wielding a weapon was subdued after being hit with a police taser.


According to the Hakjang Police Substation of the Sasang Police Station in Busan on the 5th, a man in his 40s, Mr. A, entered the substation carrying a weapon at around 3:50 PM on the 2nd.


Mr. A threatened officers Patrolman Gil Eun-gyeong and Inspector Yu Mi-geun, who were on duty at the time, saying, "No one understands me, so I will die today," while holding the weapon.


Patrolman Gil, who was seated at the front, calmly drew his taser and requested backup via radio, and Inspector Yu approached Mr. A with the taser and began to persuade him.


However, when Mr. A continued to refuse to put down the weapon, Inspector Yu fired the taser to subdue him, then, together with Patrolman Gil, disarmed him and handcuffed him.



It is known that Mr. A has been undergoing medication treatment for over 20 years due to panic disorder and other conditions, and the police arranged for his emergency admission to Busan Municipal Psychiatric Hospital.
