"I Will Jump" Rooftop Disturbance... The Absurd Truth Behind It

[Anchor] First, a man in his 50s climbed onto a building rooftop and threatened to jump for five hours. The reason behind it is quite absurd, right?

[Reporter] A man in his 50s, surnamed A, called 112 directly last Friday afternoon, threatening to jump from the railing of a building rooftop in Uijeongbu.

Police rushed to the scene upon receiving the report and began persuading him, and Mr. A came down from the railing on his own after about five hours.

During this process, surrounding roads were even controlled, disrupting evening rush hour traffic.

However, the reason Mr. A caused such a disturbance was, absurdly enough, reportedly due to his dissatisfaction with a public urination fine he received that morning.

It was investigated that Mr. A was heavily intoxicated at the time and even swore when calling 112.

Police have applied for an arrest warrant for Mr. A on charges of obstructing official duties.

It was also reported that he has a past record of staging similar suicide threat disturbances.
