Police arrest a criminal in his 30s who threatened his wife with a weapon at their home in Gangdong-gu.

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Cho Hyun-young = A man in his 30s was caught by the police after threatening his wife with a weapon at their home in Gangdong-gu, Seoul.

On the 26th, Gangdong Police Station announced that it arrested Mr. A, a man in his 30s, on charges of special threats.

Mr. A is accused of threatening his wife with a weapon at his home in Amsa-dong, Gangdong-gu around midnight on this day.

It is known that Mr. A went to bed after arguing with his wife the previous day, and when his wife woke him up, he became angry and committed the crime.

Afterwards, Mr. A, who was making a fuss by jumping from the railing of his 4th floor home, came down on his own after being persuaded by the police who had arrived after receiving a report from his wife.

The police ex officio invoked emergency temporary measures No. 1 (no access), No. 2 (eviction), and No. 3 (no communication) at the scene.

Emergency temporary measures are measures in which the police first orders eviction, no access, no contact, etc. in urgent situations where there is a risk of recurrence of domestic violence and it is difficult to wait for a court decision.

The police have determined that Mr. A has no record of being reported to 112 in the past and are investigating the specific circumstances of the crime. We plan to consider temporary measures and applications for arrest warrants in the future.
