Man Standing on Rooftop Stages Suicide Threat After 41 Abusive Calls to Police

Police have requested an arrest warrant for a man in his 50s who staged a suicide threat on the rooftop of an apartment building in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi Province.

At around 5:00 PM yesterday (August 21), a man in his 50s, identified as Mr. A, staged a suicide threat on the rooftop of a building in Uijeongbu-dong, Uijeongbu.

Mr. A, who had been fined for public urination earlier that morning, called 112 41 times and hurled abuse and insults, leading to his arrest at the scene for violating the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection.

Holding a grudge, he subsequently staged a suicide threat while in a state of severe intoxication. After holding out on the rooftop for about five hours, he came down on his own following persuasion by the police.

Police have requested an arrest warrant for Mr. A on charges of obstruction of official duties by fraudulent means.
