A class A wanted man who did not appear in court and went in hiding was arrested by the police after fighting on the street.
The Seoul Yeongdeungpo Police Station announced today (27th) that they arrested a 50-year-old man accused of violating the Act on Special Cases concerning the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes (forced molestation of the disabled).
According to the police, at around 8:40 pm on the 23rd, a call was received saying, "Two men are fighting on the street in Yeongdeungpo-gu."
Police arrived at the scene and started to identify the two men who were fighting.
Then, of the two men who fought, Mr. A showed an uncooperative attitude.
He is known to have stubbornly refused to confirm his identity, saying, "I'm going home. What crime have I committed?"
Mr. A finally revealed his name after continued interrogation by the police.
As a result of identification, it was confirmed that Mr. A was a class A wanted person accused of forcible molestation of the disabled.
Wanted actions are classified according to the severity of the crime. Class A wanted actions are given to those who have been in hiding even though an arrest or arrest warrant has been issued.
They can be arrested immediately upon discovery.
A was handed over to trial on charges of forcibly molesting the disabled, but it is said that an arrest warrant was issued because he did not appear at the trial.
It is known that the police arrested Mr. A at the scene and handed it over to the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office on the 24th.
