12 vehicles damaged, 11 live bullets were stopped, a ‘psychedelic escape play’… 6 years in prison

[앵커]

In the middle of the night last year, there was an incident where a gangster in their 30s, who was drunk on drugs, went on a frenzy and even pursued the police in the city center. Even a police car collided with 12 vehicles, and the police fired 11 live bullets to subdue it. The man was eventually sentenced to six years in prison.

A white SUV is driving frighteningly.

A police car chases after him.

The car that ran 3.8 km entered the parking lot of Ulsan City Hall.

A patrol car behind them gets close and tries to run away in a different direction.

But when another police car blocks it, it hits the car head-on.

The police eventually got out of the car and fired 11 live bullets with the wheel of the fugitive car, smashing the windshield and subduing the driver.

The driver was a gangster A in his 30s and was under the influence of drugs at the time of arrest.

It was investigated that A was arguing with his wife and got angry and drove his car and hit a parking breaker at the entrance of the Ulsan District Prosecutor’s Office.

During the escape, a total of 12 vehicles including a police car were damaged, causing property damage worth 70 million won.

Mr. A was also tried for running an entertainment pub and hiring young women to serve them.

The court sentenced A to six years in prison, saying, “I have several criminal convictions, and the risk of the crime was very high.”

“But I also took into account that I have a young wife and children.”
