The arrest operation was especially effective due to the teamwork between a male and a female police officer working in pairs. The male and female officers moved behind the suspect and quickly ended the situation using weapons such as a baton and a taser gun.

Yonhap News confirmed with the Gyeonggi Nambu Police Agency 112 Comprehensive Security Situation Room and reported the incident on the 20th. According to the Gyeonggi Nambu Police Agency 112 Comprehensive Security Situation Room, at 5:09 a.m. on the 17th, a report was received from a residential area in Danwon-gu, Ansan-si, stating that "it seems a foreigner was fighting."

Two police officers from the local Seonbu Police Substation immediately rushed to the scene, but the suspect, a Moroccan national identified as Mr. A, was causing a disturbance while holding a weapon in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other.

Despite multiple surrender demands, Mr. A continued the commotion, prompting the officers on site to judge the situation as serious and request backup. Consequently, six additional officers from the nearby Wadong Police Substation were dispatched to the scene.

Operation Plan Established for Safe Arrest

The officers confronting Mr. A planned an operation to ensure a safe arrest. The plan was for multiple officers to face Mr. A directly while some would move behind him to maintain distance and use weapons to make the arrest.

First, while six male officers confronted Mr. A, two officers from Wadong Police Substation?Sergeant Go Ara and Patrol Officer Choi Min-woo?secretly moved behind him.

Then, Patrol Officer Choi struck Mr. A’s right hand with a 1.5-meter-long baton, and Sergeant Go fired a taser gun at Mr. A’s back as he tried to flee into a building after being hit by the baton.

The taser gun is loaded with only one cartridge at a time and has an effective range of only 5 to 6 meters. If it misses even once, it requires reloading and completely re-aiming at the target.

During the arrest operation, the taser gun fired by Sergeant Go hit Mr. A’s back, causing him to immediately collapse forward. The officers then rushed into the building and arrested the fallen Mr. A on the spot.

No injuries occurred during the arrest process. Police investigation revealed that Mr. A was an illegal immigrant who stated, "My brother in Morocco passed away," and "I wanted to be deported, so I asked a neighbor to report me to the police before committing the offense."

The police have detained Mr. A on charges including obstruction of official duties and are conducting an investigation.

Park Ki-seong, head of the Gyeonggi Nambu Police Agency 112 Management Team, said, "One cartridge for the taser gun costs about 30,000 to 40,000 won, so training sessions are quite expensive. However, the Gyeonggi Nambu Police have conducted taser gun firing training for about 7,800 local police officers for two consecutive years to improve on-site arrest capabilities, and training is planned again this year."

He added, "Sergeant Go and Patrol Officer Choi will be awarded commendations for their meritorious service in carrying out a safe arrest operation."
