Male and female ‘police duo’… Teamwork in Arresting Foreigners in a Weapon Riot
An illegal foreigner who was rioting with a weapon in a residential area in Danwon-gu, Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do, was arrested after being hit with a taser shot by a police officer. At that time, the situation was over in an instant with the meticulous arrest operation of the male and female police officers who formed a team of two.
According to the Gyeonggi Southern Police Agency on the 20th, at around 5:10 am on the 17th, a 112 report was received saying that a foreigner was fighting.
At the scene where two police officers from the Seonbu Police Station, in charge of the region, were immediately dispatched, Mr. A from Morocco was wreaking havoc with a weapon in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other.
Mr. A did not stop the fuss even after she was advised안전놀이터 to surrender several times.
The on-site police officers, who determined that the situation was not serious, requested assistance, and six additional police officers from the nearby Wadong Police Box were put in.
Police officers set up an operation for a safe arrest. 6 out of 8 people face to face with Mr. A and continue the confrontation.
In response, police officer Choi hit Mr. A’s right hand with a 1.5m long pole, and Koh fired a Taser into Mr. A’s back as he tried to escape.
Mr. A, who was hit by the Taser gun, fell forward, and the confronting police officers rushed into the building and arrested Mr. A, who had fallen, as a red-handed criminal. No one was injured during the arrest.
The Taser gun is loaded with only one cartridge (ammunition box) and has a short range of 5 to 6 meters, making it difficult to reload if it fails to hit at once.
The Gyeonggi Southern Police Agency explained that it had been conducting Taser firing training for 7,800 local police officers for two years to improve their ability to make on-the-spot arrests.
The police are investigating and detaining Mr. A on charges of special obstruction of justice.
In a police investigation, Mr. A was reported to have stated, “I wanted to be forced to leave the country because my older brother died in Morocco.”
The Gyeonggi Southern Police Agency plans to award commendations to Inspector Goh and Police Officer Choi for successfully carrying out the safe arrest operation.
On this day, a netizen released a 45-second video of Mr. A’s arrest to the online community. Titled ‘The police we wanted’, the video quickly spread and gained sympathy from many people.Netizens poured out compliments such as “Kia did a good job”, “Connecting movements are smooth”, “Perfect teamwork”, “It’s cool because he handled it calmly and well”.
