An illegal immigrant who pushed away an escorting police officer and fled was caught by the police after 10 hours.
On the 17th, the Naju Police Station in Jeollanam-do announced that they had arrested a man in his 30s, Mr. A, a Thai national, on charges of escape and others.
According to the police, Mr. A is accused of pushing a police officer and fleeing from the Naju Police Station, where he had been brought in as a suspect in an assault case, around 10:30 p.m. the previous day.
At the time, it was reported that the police did not handcuff Mr. A during the escort process. The police tracked his escape route and apprehended him near his residence at around 8:30 a.m. the following day, about 10 hours later.
