Causing Disturbance at PC Bang While Intoxicated

A man in his 60s was caught by the police after visiting a PC cafe while hiding a weapon inside an umbrella. The police released related footage, stating they will strongly respond to violent crimes involving weapons.


According to the Suwon Nambu Police Station in Gyeonggi on the 14th, Mr. A, in his 60s, walked into a PC cafe in Yeongtong-gu, Suwon City, carrying an umbrella around 4:40 PM on the 7th.


At the time, Mr. A was heavily intoxicated and caused a disturbance by pointing and raising his voice while using the PC cafe, leading to an argument with the owner, Mr. B. During this, Mr. A suddenly put his hand inside the umbrella and fumbled around. Noticing something suspicious, Mr. B tried to take the umbrella away, but Mr. A resisted.

Mr. B immediately called the police and, with the help of nearby customers, took the umbrella away. When the responding officers checked the umbrella, they found a weapon about 30 cm long inside.


The police arrested Mr. A on the spot. At the time of arrest, Mr. A reportedly incoherently said, "I didn't know there was a knife inside." Later, during the police investigation, he stated, "I got angry because I lost money while playing games." The police have sent Mr. A to the prosecution under charges of special intimidation.



On the 11th, the National Police Agency posted footage of Mr. A's arrest on their YouTube account, expressing their firm stance on cracking down on violent crimes involving weapons. A police official said, "Simply possessing a weapon and causing anxiety to others can be grounds for criminal charges."
