According to the video and details released by the Daejeon Metropolitan Police Agency on the 24th, at around 2:16 a.m. on December 28 last year, a drunken man in his 50s, identified as Mr. A, entered the Seodaejeon Police Substation in Munhwa-dong, Jung-gu, Daejeon, carrying both a bladed weapon and a blunt instrument in his hands. Mr. A was under police investigation for assaulting a backseat passenger who tried to break up a fight he had with a taxi driver the previous day while intoxicated. Dissatisfied with this, he stormed into the substation.

Closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage released by the police shows Mr. A shouting at the officers after entering the substation, "Bring the victim here. Otherwise, I will kill you and then myself," while causing a disturbance. Four police officers on duty at the substation confronted Mr. A, and upon realizing the officers outnumbered him, Mr. A threatened them by placing the bladed weapon against his own neck.

While the officers tried to calm the agitated Mr. A, Officer Park Geon-gyu, a martial arts expert holding a total of 14 black belts in kickboxing, mixed martial arts, hapkido, and jiu-jitsu, put on cut-resistant gloves and quietly approached Mr. A from behind without his knowledge. Officer Park quickly slipped his hands under Mr. A’s armpits to hug him, and a fellow officer standing right in front of Mr. A then took him down to the floor of the substation to restrain him. No one was injured during the process.

Officer Park stated, "Even causing a disturbance by coming to the substation intoxicated is punishable by law," and added, "The police will continue to do their best to protect the peaceful daily lives of the public." The police announced that Mr. A will be sent to the prosecution on charges of assault and obstruction of official duties.
