Armed with Chainsaw, Man Confronts Police SWAT Team—Residents Terrified When He Returns Home After Arrest

Late at night on August 11, a man in his 20s was subdued by the police SWAT team after holding authorities at bay with a chainsaw at his home in Seo-gu, Daejeon. Some three hours before his arrest, the man had been chased by police while wandering around a children's park carrying a weapon.

The man threw glass bottles and other items at pursuing officers, engaging in a standoff that lasted for over an hour. It was revealed that he was already wanted on a bench warrant for obstruction of business. Why on earth did he commit another crime?

We captured the tense moments of the arrest along with details on whether the man was taken into custody following the incident.
