A police officer misunderstood that he took out a weapon after seeing the complainant's actions, and suppressed the complainant.
The complainant was arrested as a current offender for injuring a police officer who was subduing him, but it turned out that he did not actually have a weapon.
According to the legal circle today (3rd), Detective 6 of the Seoul Southern District Court (Chief Judge Sang-yong Oh) acquitted the complainant A, who was charged with obstruction of the execution of official duties and injuries.
In October of last year, Mr. A visited the civil service office on the first floor of the police station with an umbrella and a plastic bag in one hand and requested an interview with the chief.
When the police officer asked about the interview request, Mr. A did not answer and sweared, and the moment he tried to move the hand holding the plastic bag, he was pushed and subdued by the police officer.
It was because Mr. A misunderstood that he took out his weapon.
They had a fight, and after a while, three other police officers came to the scene and completely subdued Mr.
In the process of subduing, Mr. A inflicted injuries to a police officer that required two weeks of treatment.
In response, the court said, "It is difficult to recognize the situation as an 'urgent situation'. It seems that A, who was embarrassed, was hit by a police officer in the process of trying to release the officer's arm."
"The violence is inappropriate, but it occurred in the process of responding to excessive suppression that was unexpected for Mr. A." He added, "It cannot be considered that there was an intention to interfere with the execution of official duties or intentionally cause injury, or the illegality is engraved as it falls under 'justifiable defense'. “I judged.
This is a 'news pick'.
