A man in his 30s who dropped a weapon while trying to take it out at Dongdaegu Station Plaza was caught by the police. On the 7th, the Railroad Special Judicial Police received a report at 3:52 PM that "there is a person carrying a weapon at Dongdaegu Station Plaza."

The informant, Mr. B, explained the situation to Yonhap News, saying, "Mr. A's eyes looked very anxious, so I was watching him, and he dropped a weapon and a note while trying to take something out of his bag." He added, "Mr. A picked up the knife and the note he dropped and showed them to me, and the note contained a warning of murder." Besides the knife dropped at the time of the report, Mr. A was also carrying another weapon, totaling two weapons.

Meanwhile, recently in Daegu, posts threatening to cause havoc with weapons at the airport and baseball stadium have been repeatedly posted, prompting police response. According to the Daegu Police Agency on the 7th, a post predicting a 'bomb terror at Daegu Airport' was uploaded to an online site at 11:16 PM the previous day. The post reportedly stated, "The bomb installation is complete, and on the afternoon of the 9th, I will drive in by car and wield weapons." In response, the Daegu Police Agency's Cyber Crime Investigation Unit requested the deletion of the related post and is tracking the poster. Additionally, the police deployed the Police Special Forces Explosive Disposal Team (EDO) at Daegu Airport and are conducting searches together with the explosive disposal team to prepare for any emergencies, also deploying armored vehicles and riot squads at the site. A joint inspection by the police, military, and National Intelligence Service confirmed that there are no suspicious signs of a bomb terror so far. The police plan to strengthen patrols on the 9th, the predicted date of the bomb terror.

On the afternoon of the 5th, when a post threatening to cause a 'weapon rampage' at Daegu Baseball Stadium was uploaded, the police special forces were on standby at Daegu Samsung Lions Park in preparation for any possible situation.
