few days ago in Incheon, a family member was seriously injured by a knife wielded by a man upstairs due to a noise conflict between floors. However, there was a police officer at the scene when the weapon was wielded, but there was a claim that he hurriedly fled the scene rather than protecting the victim.

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 escaped out of the building without attempting 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 as they went outside to call for rescue and assistance, while the common front door was locked.
The police arrested a man in his 40s on charges of attempted murder, and are investigating whether the measures of the dispatchers were insufficient.
