A man in his 30s was arrested after firing a BB gas gun and injuring a passerby. He said it was a performance test.
The Hanam Police Station in Gyeonggi said on the 8th that it booked a person identified as A without detention on suspicion of aggravated assault.
A is suspected of firing a BB gas gun out the window at his residence near Misa Station in Hanam at about 10:45 p.m. on the 6th.
A told police, "I bought a BB gas gun through a used transaction and fired about 10 rounds to check its performance."
A's BB gas gun is about a hand span in size, and it was reported that one woman in her 40s suffered a minor injury after being hit by a BB round fired by A.
It has not yet been confirmed whether A aimed at passersby when firing.
Police plan to investigate the exact motive for the crime along with how the BB gas gun was purchased.
