Man Arrested After Striking Police Officer in Middle of 6-Lane Road

A man in his 40s who caused a disturbance in the middle of a downtown road in the early morning hours, including throwing punches at a police officer, has been apprehended after being struck by a Taser.
The Suwon Paldal Police Station in Gyeonggi Province announced today (June 27) that they have arrested the suspect, identified as A, on charges including obstruction of justice and are currently investigating the case.
A is accused of punching a responding police officer on a road in Ingye-dong, Paldal-gu, Suwon, at approximately 1:30 a.m. today.
Police were dispatched to the scene following a report stating that "a person is wandering on the road and obstructing traffic."
Upon arrival, officers attempted to stop A, but he appeared aggressive, shirtless, and began swinging his fists.
After a struggle that spanned the six-lane road, police fired a Taser to subdue and apprehend him.
It was reported that A gave incoherent statements to the police, claiming, "Several people have been chasing me since I left Jochiwon," and "I am in the middle of running away."
A was not intoxicated at the time, and he refused to undergo a drug test.
Police have placed A under emergency hospitalization after receiving statements from his family indicating that he suffers from a mental illness.
