When an arrest warrant was issued for President Yoon Suk Yeol, supporters of President Yoon stormed into the court building in the Western District Court, where the warrant was reviewed.

They beat the police officers with shields and plastic chairs taken from the police, breaking the court's main gate and windows.

I'll connect you with a field reporter to find out more about the situation. Reporter Bae Minhyuk!

[Reporter]
Yes, it's in front of the Seoul Western District Court.

Is the rioting of protesters currently under control?

[Journalist]
Yes, that's right.

The scene is all organized now, but traces of the violent protest site remain intact.

The protests intensified around 3 a.m. today when news of the issuance of a warrant against President Yoon broke out.

If you look at the on-site screen secured by YTN, you will be able to see the protesters, who appear to be supporters of President Yoon, crossing the wall of the court, scrumming through the police blockade and entering the interior.

They assaulted the police and smashed windows and court gates with shields and plastic chairs taken from the police.

According to the secured video, it seems that it once entered the third floor inside the court.

Protesters were also found to have threatened the prosecutors of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit who completed the warrant examination last evening and damaged the vehicle by defusing the tire wheel of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

Police say they arrested a total of 86 people in the Western District Court riots last night and early this morning.

Police are currently dispersing the arrested protesters to the police station in downtown Seoul and investigating the exact circumstances of the incident.

Are the protesters dispersed now?

[Reporter]
Police put down most of the protesters at around 6 a.m. today, three hours after the Western District Court riot.

A total of 1,400 police were mobilized to suppress the protest.

As the situation intensified, police deployed a task force equipped with body protection suits and batons to draw protesters who damaged objects inside the courthouse.

Since then, sporadic clashes have continued at the back gate of the Western District Court, and the police have forcibly dispersed all of them.

Is there a possibility that protests will continue on the spot or riots will intensify?

[Reporter]
Yes, that seems like a possibility.

Outside the courthouse, supporters threaten reporters and take away camera memory cards
There were also big and small scuffles, such as driving passers-by who were not related to the
incident as supporters of the progressive side.

First of all, the police will set up a team dedicated to investigating riots in the Western District Court.

The court, the last bastion of the rule of law, was attacked, which is unprecedented in constitutional history, so it plans to respond firmly to the situation.
