Woman in her 30s caught after throwing dishes from high-rise apartment

A woman in her 30s has been arrested in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province, for allegedly throwing dishes and glass cups from an apartment building multiple times. The Pyeongtaek Police Station apprehended the woman, whose identity remains undisclosed, on Saturday afternoon in connection with aggravated assault. Police allege she threw ceramic dishes, glass cups, and other items from an upper floor of an apartment in Godeok-dong on four or five occasions since October 12.

No injuries were reported as a result of the incidents. The police became concerned after receiving multiple reports of dishes falling from the building and launched an investigation to prevent further potential injuries. To protect residents, authorities established a restricted area around the locations where the objects had landed.

Identifying the perpetrator was challenging due to the apartment building's numerous floors and the absence of surveillance cameras to capture the events. On Saturday morning, officers positioned a tripod to gather evidence.
