[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] A man in his 40s who threatened and confined his ex-girlfriend with a weapon while wearing an electronic ankle bracelet was arrested by the police.

The Gwangju Western Police Station announced on the 25th that they have arrested and are investigating A (mid-40s) on charges of special confinement.

A is accused of threatening his ex-girlfriend B (in her 30s) with a weapon around 3:30 PM the previous day at his home in Ssangchon-dong, Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, repeatedly assaulting her abdomen and head about five times with his foot, and confining her for four hours.

The police responded after receiving a 112 emergency call via text message from B and arrested A at the scene.

According to the police, since the 22nd, A had been threatening B with family-related threats and forcing her to come to his house.

A reportedly committed this crime after refusing to accept B’s request to break up.

A was also wearing an electronic ankle bracelet due to past sexual assault charges.

The police are providing psychological treatment to B and issuing a smartwatch for her protection, while investigating the exact circumstances of the incident. They are currently reviewing a request for A’s arrest warrant.
