Yesterday (16th), I reported that the man upstairs wielded a knife at three members of the family downstairs after the noise conflict between floors. One of the victim's family members has not yet recovered consciousness, and it has been argued that the police did not actively step in, but rather avoided the scene even though the police were present at the time of the knife riot.

Four hours before the knife attack, Mr. A's family reported the man upstairs, Mr. Lee, to the police.
When the police arrived and returned, the action started again.
[Victim family: (first report) I came down again after 4 hours and kicked the front door and made a fuss.] A
terrible crime occurred when two police officers were dispatched again.
One police officer was talking to Mr. A outside the villa, and the other was listening to statements from Mr. A's wife and daughter inside the villa.
At this time, Mr. Lee appeared and swung his weapon wildly.
The wife lost consciousness due to a neck injury, and the daughter was also injured.
He said that he hurriedly got out of the building without even trying to subdue the perpetrator.
[Victim family: (Mr. A's wife) was stabbed with a knife, so now her nephew screams (Mr. A) goes up, but now she has encountered the policewoman rushing down.]
In response, the police explained that the action was delayed while they went outside to call for rescue and assistance, while the common front door was locked.
[Victim's family: 'Fortunately, the policewoman went down and the report was quick, so the rescue was quick, so take comfort in the fact that he didn't die.'
That's not what you'd say to me.] The
police arrested a man in his 40s on charges of attempted murder, and are investigating whether the action of the dispatchers was insufficient.
