In a classroom at a middle school in Ansan, Gyeonggi, a second-year male student attacked a classmate with a weapon. The victim's life is not in danger, but the student was injured in the face and arm and was taken to a hospital.
According to the Ansan Danwon Police Station and others, at about 10:20 a.m. on the 9th, in a classroom at a middle school in Gojan-dong, Danwon-gu, Ansan, Gyeonggi, second-year male student A swung a weapon at male classmate B.
Police responded to a report from the school and took A into custody. In the police investigation, A is said to have testified to the effect that A suddenly wielded the weapon because A was in a bad mood.
After it became known that A is a juvenile subject to protective measures between the ages of 10 and under 14, online communities and others have said institutional supplements are needed. Juveniles subject to protective measures fall under criminal minors and are not criminally punished, but they can receive protective dispositions from a family court's juvenile division.
Considering that A is a minor, police are conducting the investigation procedures with a guardian present. Police plan to investigate the exact circumstances of the incident with A and school officials, then refer A to the juvenile division of the family court.
