A Man in His 50s Arrested for Spraying Flammable Liquid on Insurance Company Over Settlement Payment Dispute

A man in his 50s was arrested on the spot for spraying an inflammable substance and attempting to set fire to an insurance company due to dissatisfaction with the settlement of a traffic accident compensation.

Daegu Suseong Police Station announced on the 7th that they have detained and are investigating Mr. A on charges of special intimidation and attempted arson.

According to the police, Mr. A is suspected of visiting an insurance company in Beomeo-dong, Suseong-gu, at around 3:07 p.m. that day, spraying an inflammable substance presumed to be thinner, and attempting to start a fire.

When Mr. A took out a lighter to ignite the fire, the insurance company employees subdued him and prevented the fire. Initial investigations revealed that Mr. A had brought the inflammable substance in a water bottle.

The Daegu Fire Department also responded to the scene and cleaned up the inflammable substance sprayed by Mr. A. Mr. A had previously been investigated by the police for threatening the same insurance company on the 23rd of last month by calling and saying he would bring thinner.

At that time, Mr. A reportedly stated, "I did not actually intend to set a fire; I was just very angry."

The police are considering applying for an arrest warrant for Mr. A.
