A man wearing a white jumper runs through a narrow alley at full speed.
Both hands are handcuffed and without shoes.
Two men hurriedly run after this man's alley.
When the missed suspect escaped, prosecution officials ran to capture it.
Eventually, the Seoul West District Prosecutor's Office, who failed to catch the man, reported to 112, and after a 40-minute search, the police captured the man hiding in an abandoned house.
This happened while the suspect was being transferred from Seoul to Daejeon Prison.
When the suspect in front of the subway Itaewon Station said, "I'm likely to vomit," the prosecution officer in charge of the convoy stopped the vehicle and ran away to get a plastic bag.
The suspect, who ran about 200 meters at full speed through a gap of neglect, hid in this abandoned house.
But the prosecutor's office insists it wasn't missed.
[Prosecutor in charge of convoy: (I missed it during the convoy?) In a way, rather than saying that we missed it, we were more convenient.
I don't remember much, and I don't care much, that part.] The
police investigated the suspect and handed over the recruit to the prosecution.
The Seoul West District Prosecutor's Office said, "We will thoroughly manage recruits and prepare measures to prevent recurrence to prevent such cases from occurring in the future."
