Last night at a car wash in Gapyeong, Gyeonggi-do. A man approaches the two men while they are washing a car, talks to them, and suddenly gets into the car and tries to close the door.
[Damaged Borrower: He suddenly came and said, 'I'm an employee, but you shouldn't be doing this here right now'. I was about to close the door, but suddenly he got into the car. It's so embarrassing and so scary.]
Even when I try to pull it out,
it
doesn't budge.
Even a police officer joined in, but suddenly the police and the owner of the car were thrown out while backing up.
[Damaged car owner party: I put in reverse gear and stepped back on the accelerator. Me and the policeman were dragged back together and fell and stepped on (on the wheel of the car)... .]
This man was reported to the police while he was drunk and stealing a folding knife from a nearby convenience store.
The man drove the car and fled, sprinting close to 500 meters.
The 40-minute drunken riot ended here when a vehicle collided with a sidewalk block at the roundabout and collapsed on its side.
[Kang Seong-won / Accident Witness: I heard a thump, and when I went there, the vehicle was in a state of overturning over the roundabout.
Rescuers broke the windshield...
.]
The man's blood alcohol level was 0.103%, which was the level of license revocation, and four people, including two police officers, were injured in the riot.
After stealing, beating, and running for just 40 minutes, the man was admitted to the hospital due to the shock of the accident.
The police plan to apply for an arrest warrant on charges of vehicle theft, special injury, drunk driving, and obstruction of the execution of official duties.
