The arrest warrant for the 50-year-old who beat the police at a meeting calling for impeachment was rejected.

The Seoul Western District Court rejected an arrest warrant for a man in his 50s accused of assaulting police at a rally calling for the impeachment of Yoon Suk Yeol's president.

The court judged that it was difficult to admit the need for arrest because A's residence was constant and there was no fear of destroying evidence.

A was arrested at the scene on the 5th for hitting a police officer in the head who blocked him from crossing the assembly control line at a rally near the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul.
