A Kazakhstan man suspected of being an illegal jobs broker used a fake gun in an attempt to resist arrest at Incheon International Airport on Saturday.
Police and the Incheon Airport Immigration Office eventually arrested the man, 54, about 10:40 a.m.
The man was at the airport to pick up seven Kazakhstanis.
Police said the man was an illegal alien who brokered jobs for his fellow Kazakhstanis. He had been in South Korea since 2015.
He resisted police by taking the fake gun from his car.
The suspect told police he came by the gun accidently while working.
