A wanted man who caused a disturbance by swinging a sickle at police officers was arrested in the act.


On the 10th, the National Police Agency's YouTube channel posted a video titled "Swinging a sickle right in front of the police."


The released footage shows wanted man A confronting police officers while holding a sickle and a knife at a residence in Asan, Chungnam, on the 1st.

Earlier, the police went on patrol to locate A and found him at his home. They attempted to persuade him for about an hour, but A reportedly resisted fiercely.


Upon seeing the officers, A said, "Aren't you the ones here to take my property? Get out," while threatening them with the sickle and knife.


Despite police orders to surrender, A ignored them and continued to threaten the officers while armed with the weapons.

In particular, when the police entered the residence, A began swinging the sickle violently as if ready to strike at any moment. The officers urgently shouted "No" toward A.


As A showed no signs of calming down, the police ultimately fired a taser at him. A immediately fell to the ground, and the police arrested him on charges of obstructing special official duties.



The arrested A is scheduled to stand trial while in custody.
