Footage from a closed-circuit television (CCTV) released by Channel A shows Mr. A swaying and falling while riding the motorcycle alone. 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."



According to the police investigation, Mr. A’s license had already been revoked due to drunk driving, and he was reportedly wanted with a fine of 3.5 million won.
