Man in His 50s Fires Nail Gun in Busan Residential Area, Arrested Again 10 Days After Release

A man in his 50s has been arrested by police in a residential area in Busan just 10 days after his release from prison, after causing a disturbance with a construction nail gun.

The Busan Sasang Police Station announced that it is investigating a man in his 50s, referred to as A, on charges including special obstruction of official duties.

A is accused of firing a nail gun at police officers who arrived at the scene around 9:00 AM today (July 22) following a report that a drunk man was cursing and shouting in a residential area in Sasang-gu, Busan, and attempting self-harm by pointing the weapon at his own head.

According to SBS coverage, A was released from prison on the 12th of this month after serving a prison sentence handed down in May of last year for carrying a deadly weapon in a public place.

He also reportedly has a past record of being punished for creating disturbances while under the influence of alcohol.

Police deployed a police special forces unit to apprehend A at around 11:00 AM, and are currently investigating the exact circumstances of the incident, including the motive for the crime.
