South Korea's Own 'Die Hard' Hero, Police Officer*(Kim Hyun-Cheol) Clings to Car

South Korean traffic cop dubbed �Die Hard policeman� after clinging to suspect�s car to make arrest

Traffic cop Kim Hyun-cheol clung to the windshield and roof of a suspect's car when they sped away during a stop


SEOUL, South Korea � A South Korean traffic cop who arrested a drug suspect after clinging to his car for 25 minutes has gotten a promotion and is being called the �Die Hard policeman� by local media.

Police say Kim Hyun-cheol initially stopped the suspect�s car in the city of Busan because it made an illegal U-turn on Aug. 26. When the suspect sped off, Kim clung to the windshield and roof of the car.

The suspect eventually stopped and was arrested after a foot chase. Officials say the man was later found to be on a wanted list for drug-related crimes.

Kim has since been promoted to assistant inspector. His nickname refers to the heroic acts of actor Bruce Willis� police character John McClane in the hit �Die Hard� movie series.

A promotion to only assistant inspector? Why not make him the Busan Police Commissioner? He clearly has the smarts (ever heard of radio, numb-nuts?).
