After a six-hour long standoff with security, South Korea police have called off an attempt to arrest suspended president Yoon Suk Yeol.
The military and Yoon’s security service officers formed a human wall and used vehicles to block the arrest team’s path, local news outlet Yonhap reported.
Yoon is under investigation for abusing his power and inciting an insurrection when he tried to impose martial law in early December.
The move, although short-lived, led to a political crisis as Yoon was impeached by an opposition-led parliament and suspended from office.
A Seoul court issued a warrant for his arrest early this week after he ignored three summonses for him to appear for questioning.
