  • Officers said the man appeared nervous and evasive before fleeing when they called him over.
  • Authorities identified him as wanted by prosecutors' offices in Taipei and Taoyuan and transferred him for legal proceedings.

A brief call from a Taipei police officer appeared to confirm the suspicions surrounding a man who was trying to walk away from a patrol. When the officer called, "Hey, sir, come over here," the 29-year-old immediately ran.

Officers from the Xiyuan Road Police Station were patrolling Wanhua District on the day of the arrest when they saw the man acting evasively as police on motorcycles approached. They decided to question him and called him over.

Instead, he sprinted across the road toward the opposite side. Police surrounded him from both directions and stopped him. An identity check found that he was wanted in fraud cases by the Taipei District Prosecutors Office and the Taoyuan District Prosecutors Office.

Police later transferred him to the two prosecutors' offices for further proceedings.

Hey, sir, come over here.
