The Masan Jungbu Police Station in Gyeongnam announced on the 6th that they had arrested Mr. A, a man in his 40s, on charges of public intoxication disturbance at a government office and damage to public property.

According to the police, Mr. A is accused of visiting the Odong Police Substation of Masan Jungbu Police Station at around 2:45 a.m. on the 3rd, expressing dissatisfaction with how a previous intoxication disturbance case was handled, shouting that he wanted to meet the officer in charge, and obstructing official duties.

During this incident, he struck and damaged the closed-circuit television (CCTV) installed at the entrance of the substation with his hand and was arrested on the spot.

It was confirmed that Mr. A habitually caused intoxication disturbances mainly in the early morning hours around the entertainment district in Masanhappo-gu.
