Yoon supporter suspected of trespassing at Chinese Embassy, police station arrested

SEOUL, Feb. 22 (Yonhap) — An apparent supporter of impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol who attempted to break into the Chinese Embassy and trespass at a police station was arrested Saturday.

The Seoul Central District Court issued an arrest warrant after questioning the suspect, identified only by his surname Ahn, earlier in the day, citing the risk of him fleeing.

Ahn is accused of breaking the entrance gate of the Seoul Namdaemun Police Station in central Seoul around 11 p.m. on Thursday, demanding a swift investigation into his case, and has been charged with property damage and destruction of public property.

Last Friday, Ahn attempted to trespass into the Chinese Embassy in Seoul while dressed in Captain America’s iconic costume and was under investigation without detention.
