A man in his 40s wearing an electronic tracking device has been apprehended by police after causing a disturbance at a neighborhood police precinct, where he used inappropriate language and pushed a police officer.

The Seoul Gwanak Police Station announced today (October 20) that it has booked and is investigating a man in his 40s, referred to as A, on charges of obstruction of official duties.

A is accused of using inappropriate language against a police officer and pushing them at a neighborhood police precinct in Gwanak-gu, Seoul, at around 10:00 PM on October 15.

According to reports, A went to the precinct the following day to cause a disturbance because he was upset that police officers who responded to a dispute with an acquaintance on October 14 had treated him like a criminal.

Investigations showed that A figured out the work hours of the responding police officers and waited in front of the precinct starting from around 5:00 PM on October 15.

Later that day at around 7:30 PM, he entered the precinct, bit his own finger, and wrote a bloody letter on the wall to claim his grievance.

After being admonished by police and sent home, A returned to the precinct at around 10:00 PM the same day, shouting and pushing a police officer.

Police arrested A in the act after a standoff lasting about an hour.

It was revealed that A was wearing an electronic tracking device due to a past sex offense record.

Police applied for an arrest warrant for A, but it was dismissed by the prosecutors' office.

Police are investigating the exact circumstances of the incident.
