Gwangju Gwangsan Police Station Actively Responds to 'Knife Attack Threat'

The Gwangsan Police Station in Gwangju carried out security activities to prevent a stabbing incident.

This came after similar incidents occurred across the country following the Shinlim Station stabbing incident, and numerous murder threat posts appeared online.

On the 8th, the Gwangsan Police Station conducted joint patrols with the autonomous crime prevention unit around the Cheomdan LC Tower area to prevent violent crimes.

They also distributed self-produced flyers to block copycat crimes related to the stabbing rampage.

Cooperation letters were sent to 98 schools in the jurisdiction, and a 'Notice to Prevent Posting of Violent Crime Threats' was posted on each school's website and delivered to students.

This measure aims to raise students' awareness of related crimes and preemptively block criminal intent.

Chief Kang Il-won of Gwangsan Police Station emphasized, “We will do our best to create an environment where youth can safely engage in activities by fully cooperating with related organizations such as the Office of Education, schools, and the autonomous crime prevention unit to prevent the posting of violent crime threat messages and copycat crimes among teenagers.”
