40-Year-Old Man Drunk and Threatening Hold'em Pub Staff with a Blade Arrested

A man in his 40s who assaulted a Hold'em pub employee and threatened him with a weapon while intoxicated was arrested by the police.

The Gwangju Seobu Police Station announced on the 13th that they have arrested A (41) on the spot on charges of special intimidation and assault and are currently investigating him.

A is accused of hitting male employee B with his fist and threatening him with a weapon at a Hold'em pub in Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, around 9:40 a.m. the previous day.

At the time, A, who was intoxicated, began assaulting B as soon as he entered the Hold'em pub. Two female employees who witnessed the assault intervened to stop it and evacuated to the restroom with B, then reported to the police. At this time, A also threatened them by holding a kitchen knife from the kitchen and stabbing the restroom door.

The police responded to the report and arrested A at the scene.

A reportedly told the police, "I don't remember exactly, but I think I was in a bad mood for no reason."

The police are investigating further suspicions that A committed similar crimes at other Hold'em pubs and, considering the seriousness of the case, plan to request an arrest warrant for A.
