A man in his 50s was arrested after attacking two police officers with a weapon, injuring them, following a 112 emergency call. It was found that the suspect tested positive for methamphetamine.

According to the Busan Dongbu Police Station on the 15th, a 112 emergency call was received reporting that "a man living on the second floor is breaking down the door" at a house in Dong-gu, Busan. Two police officers were dispatched and arrived at the scene at around 1:55 a.m. that day.

When the police knocked on the door to the second floor of the house, Mr. A came out holding weapons in both hands and swung them at Inspector B and Lieutenant C.

The responding officers subdued Mr. A, but Inspector B was stabbed in the left collarbone area and Lieutenant C in the right chest area, and both were transported to the hospital. After receiving medical treatment, both officers have since been discharged, and fortunately, their injuries are reported to be minor.

The police conducted a rapid drug test on Mr. A, which returned a positive result for methamphetamine. The police plan to request an arrest warrant for Mr. A on charges of obstruction of official duties with injury.
