A resident of an apartment complex in Gwangju Metropolitan City was arrested by police for leaving a note stating, 'If you put a parking sticker, I will come and stab you with a knife.'
On the 12th, the Gwangju Western Police Station stated that they placed a 25-year-old apartment resident, identified as Mr. A, on non-custodial status on charges of attempted intimidation.
According to police, Mr. A is accused of attaching a note to the windshield of his illegally parked vehicle at an apartment complex in Hwajeong-dong, Seo-gu, Gwangju, around 4:30 a.m. on the 28th of last month, stating, 'If you put a sticker, I will come and stab you with a weapon in the stomach.'
Mr. A had previously parked illegally in the same apartment's parking lot, and it was investigated that he committed this act in retaliation after the management office repeatedly placed illegal parking stickers on his vehicle.
Mr. A denied the allegations, stating that he did not leave a note to the police who started the investigation, but it is reported that the police secured closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage of the apartment complex confirming Mr. A attaching the note.
After assessing the circumstances of the case, police apprehended him at his residence that afternoon. They applied the charge of attempted intimidation, considering that the victim was not an unspecified number of people but rather the management office.
