"Neighbor is spreading poison at home" Reported 100 times
Police visited but found no issues... Came in person
Threatened with a knife taken from a bag but stopped by police

A woman in her 70s, dissatisfied that her issues were not resolved despite reporting her neighbor over 100 times, threatened the police.

According to an MBC report on the 18th, around midnight on the 8th of last month, a woman in her 70s, Ms. A, visited the Samgye Police Substation in Changwon, Gyeongnam, and pulled out a utility knife saying, "I'm going to kill everyone now." Ms. A was a complainant who had reported her neighbor more than 100 times, claiming the neighbor was trying to harm her.

Ms. A repeatedly reported that her neighbor was putting poison in her house, but even when the police responded, no abnormalities were found. Frustrated, Ms. A came directly to the police substation, threatening, "This time, I won't leave until this is resolved," and used abusive language.

Ms. A sat in a chair at the substation for 40 minutes, scratching her face or crossing her arms. Suddenly, she lowered her head, grabbed her head as if something came to mind, and began searching through her bag vigorously.

Eventually, after emptying the contents of her bag, Ms. A picked up an object wrapped in white paper. When unwrapped, it was a utility knife, and she threatened the police, saying, "I'm going to kill everyone now."

The police officers immediately went on alert. Two officers in front drew their batons and surrounded Ms. A. When she briefly looked away and let her guard down, one officer struck her wrist, causing the weapon to fall to the floor.

Sergeant Han Hyeong-dong of the Masan Dongbu Police Station in Gyeongnam told MBC, “Since Ms. A is in her 70s, I was concerned that using force might cause injury, so I decided to disarm her by striking only the blade part with a baton.”

The police subdued the seated Ms. A, arrested her on the spot for violating the Act on the Punishment of Violent Crimes, and, judging that there was a high risk of self-harm, arranged for her emergency hospitalization at a local hospital.
