A man in his twenties who injured citizens by wielding a weapon while walking around the streets was arrested by police on May 8.
On the afternoon of the same day, Lee Jungjae, the chief judge in charge of warrants at the Seoul Central District Court, conducted a pretrial detention hearing for Song, who is under suspicion of special assault and other charges, and issued an arrest warrant, citing concerns that he may attempt to flee.
