A Man Wanted by the Authorities, Unaware of His Status, Visits the Police Station Saying, "Why Do You Keep Calling Me?"

Man Wanted for Assault Turns Himself In at Police Station
"I Received a Summons..." Claims Innocence Before Arrest

A man wanted for assault unknowingly visited a police substation for a consultation and was arrested on the spot.

On the 27th, the Dobong Police Station in Seoul announced that they arrested a man in his 20s, identified as A, on charges of special robbery and joint injury. A is accused of assaulting and threatening a coin investment scammer in Incheon last January, extorting over 50 million won. Among the five suspects at the time, four were caught by the police, but A went into hiding and was placed on the wanted list.

Unaware of his wanted status, A visited a substation in Dobong-gu around 7:30 p.m. on the 26th to express his grievances. He said, "I recently received a summons, but do I have to appear? I am being investigated even though I did nothing wrong. The detective keeps calling me, and it makes me upset."

When the substation staff requested him to present identification, A repeatedly refused but eventually revealed his identity. After a background check, it was confirmed that he was a wanted person, and he was arrested on the spot. A police official stated, "The police responded well at the scene," and added, "A was handed over to the Incheon police station in charge."
