According to Channel A on the 14th, the police sent Mr. A to the prosecution on charges of refusing a breathalyzer test and driving without a license, violating the Road Traffic Act. Mr. A is accused of driving a motorcycle without a license and refusing a breathalyzer test around 6:30 a.m. on the 8th in Gangseo-gu, Seoul.

He struggled to stop the motorcycle and, after some time, got back on and crossed the road. However, he soon lost his balance again and fell on the shoulder of the road.
Citizens who witnessed this approached Mr. A and helped stop the motorcycle. However, sensing something was wrong, they prevented him from fleeing, and when one citizen tried to report him, Mr. A attempted to snatch the phone.
When the police car arrived, Mr. A pushed the citizens aside and tried to flee hastily but fell again. He refused the breathalyzer test conducted by the responding officers and was eventually arrested on the spot.
A citizen who witnessed the situation said, "He shouted loudly, saying 'Why do you care about my life?'" and added, "Even when the police arrived, he tried to push people away with the motorcycle."
