The Jungnang Police Station in Seoul arrested and is currently investigating a man in his 50s, Mr. A, on the charge of threatening the police station with a weapon after being refused a complaint on the 6th.


According to the police, Mr. A is accused of obstructing police duties (special obstruction of official duties) by showing a weapon to officers and hitting the glass door outside the entrance of the Myeonmokbon-dong Police Box in Jungnang-gu at around 3:15 a.m. that day. The police believe Mr. A committed this crime to protest against the police who did not accept his complaint.


Earlier, between 2:30 a.m. and 3:00 a.m. that day, Mr. A visited the police box twice, requesting, "There was a foreign substance in the restaurant food, please resolve it." When the police responded, "If you contact the 120 Dasan Call Center, you can receive appropriate measures," he threatened the officers with a weapon and then fled.



The police analyzed closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage and arrested Mr. A, who was intoxicated and sleeping at home, at around 6:15 a.m., about three hours later.
