A man in his 50s who repeatedly called an acquaintance dozens of times and caused a disturbance by visiting her in person is under police investigation.

On the 4th, the Seoul Gwanak Police Station announced that they have booked and are investigating a man in his 50s, Mr. A, without detention on suspicion of violating the Act on the Punishment of Stalking Crimes (Stalking Punishment Act).

It was reported that Mr. A made about 60 missed calls to his female acquaintance, Ms. B, around 11 a.m. on the 25th of last month, and then visited Ms. B in person in the early morning of the 26th.

Although Mr. A received a warning from the police who responded at the time, he visited Ms. B again during the daytime on the same day, verbally abused her, and shouted, asking "Why did you report me?" according to the investigation.

The police who responded to the report arrested Mr. A in flagrante delicto, and he is currently being investigated without detention.

To protect the victim, the police applied for provisional measures against Mr. A, including Measure No. 1 (written warning), No. 2 (prohibition of approaching within 100 meters), and No. 3 (ban on communication via mobile phone or other means).
