Dishes flying out of a high-rise apartment window, literally.

A woman in her 30s repeatedly threw dishes and glass cups out of a high-rise apartment.

She was ultimately apprehended by the police.

Pyeongtaek Police Station arrested a woman in her 30s, identified as A, on charges of special assault yesterday (October 18).

She is accused of throwing ceramic bowls, glass cups, and other items out of her apartment in Pyeongtaek four to five times from the 12th until her arrest on the afternoon of the 17th.

It was a situation that could have led to a major accident.

Fortunately, there were no casualties.

Upon receiving the report, the police cordoned off the area around the impact zone and stepped up patrols.

However, because the building is dozens of stories high and there were no CCTV cameras capturing the acts of throwing, police reportedly faced some difficulty identifying the suspect.

Nevertheless, police set up a tripod at the scene and launched a stakeout, intensively filming the building's exterior with a smartphone.

They then captured the moment an object fell and ultimately apprehended suspect A.

Suspect A reportedly stated during police questioning that she had been under a lot of stress.

Considering the possibility of repeat offenses and her health condition, police reportedly placed her in emergency hospitalization with the consent of her guardian.
