On the 29th, the Incheon Western Police Station announced that they plan to request an arrest warrant for Mr. A, a man in his 40s suspected of special intimidation for wielding a weapon at a mart in Incheon city.


Earlier, on the 28th, Mr. A suddenly grabbed a weapon and headed to the mart while drinking at a friend's house.


According to the released mart CCTV footage, Mr. A approached an employee organizing the outdoor display and pulled out a weapon.


When the employee ran away, Mr. A entered the mart and committed the crime by threatening customers and employees with the weapon.


The police tracked down Mr. A, who fled after the crime, and arrested him urgently at a friend's house two hours later.


According to the police investigation, he stated that "I was angry because the apples I bought at the mart a few days ago were rotten" as his motive for the crime.


It was also revealed that he called 112 himself and said, "I will kill the owner."



Fortunately, the owner was away for a moment at the time, and all customers and employees inside the mart evacuated after seeing Mr. A pull out the weapon, so no casualties occurred.
