A man in his 60s was apprehended by police after attempting to drag an elementary school student home within an apartment complex.

On September 22, the Ansan Sangnok Police Station in Gyeonggi Province announced that they had detained Mr. A on suspicion of attempted abduction of a minor and are currently investigating the case. Mr. A is accused of grabbing the arm of a fifth-grade elementary school boy, referred to as B, and saying, "Let's go together," at around 6:05 p.m. on September 21 within an apartment complex in Sangnok-gu, Ansan, as the boy was on his way home.

It was reported that B was able to return home after residents who witnessed the incident intervened and stopped Mr. A. The father, having heard about the incident from his son after he returned home, reported it to the police, leading to Mr. A's emergency arrest at his residence about an hour later.

During questioning, Mr. A reportedly stated, "I did it because the child looked cute. I don't remember well because I was drunk." Police plan to request an arrest warrant for Mr. A soon.
