A white van is spinning around a patrol car that has been dispatched to a highway rest area.

The van hit the patrol car’s side and rear, followed by the front part, and damaged it to the extent that it was difficult to drive.

Earlier, it was confirmed that the driver of the van, A male in his 50s, had an argument with an employee working at a gas station at a rest stop.

The driver refused to get out of his car, disobeying the police’s instructions, and suddenly rushed into the patrol car.

A, who damaged the patrol car, drove his van to the entrance rather than the exit of the rest area and attempted to escape onto the highway.

However, two additional patrol cars were immediately put to the scene, and the police arrested Mr. A, who was standing on the shoulder.

When Mr. A stubbornly resisted with the car door locked again, the police broke the driver’s side car door glass and windshield and entered and arrested him.

There were no casualties in the riot that lasted more than 10 minutes, and it was revealed that Mr. A was not drunk and driving.

However, the rest area users who watched the riots were startled and panicked, and they were confused.

The police plan to investigate Mr. A’s medical history.
