A video of police officers smashing a car window to arrest a man who attacked an acquaintance with a weapon and fled in a stolen vehicle is drawing attention.

On February 19, a video titled "Car window shatters in a police officer's hand, what on earth happened?" was posted on the National Police Agency's YouTube channel.

According to the video, in January the police received a 112 emergency call reporting that "the suspect secretly got into the victim's car, inflicted injuries with a weapon, and then stole the vehicle." The control center immediately identified the vehicle, urgently dispatched patrol cars, and located the suspect's car at an intersection.

Despite repeated warnings over the patrol car's microphone to "stop the vehicle," the suspect continued to flee, but was soon forced to stop at a traffic signal at an intersection. Officers immediately got out of their vehicles and surrounded the suspect's car, but the suspect attempted to escape again. In the end, one officer struck the car window with bare hands and successfully apprehended the suspect.

The suspect is believed to have brandished a weapon at an acquaintance. The police arrested him on charges of aggravated assault and are investigating the exact circumstances of the incident.

Online users praised the officers, who successfully arrested the suspect through quick decision-making in an emergency situation, leaving comments such as "He is like a real-life Ma Dongseok," "Please stay safe and healthy on duty," and "I hope you always take care of yourself while working."
