A man in his 30s has been arrested by police for threatening a neighbor with a weapon because he was annoyed by the sound of a phone conversation.

The Jincheon Police Station in North Chungcheong Province announced that it has arrested the man, identified as A, on charges of special intimidation.

A is accused of causing a disturbance in front of a convenience store in Jincheon-eup, Jincheon-gun, at approximately 11:50 p.m. on July 13.

It was determined that at the time, a person identified as B was sitting at an outdoor table at the convenience store, and A struck the table forcefully with an axe.
