On July 1, 2024, a man driving a Mercedes Benz spray-painted with the words 'psychological warfare' rammed into the flower bed in front of the Presidential Office at around 4 pm. The man was immediately arrested by the stationed police, and it was discovered that he was the same driver who had honked and caused a disturbance outside AIT an hour earlier but was advised to leave by the police. The man is currently reluctant to reveal his motives. The Mercedes Benz did not slow down at all and directly crashed into the Presidential Office, with its front end smashed, hood deformed, and body covered in black and red spray paint with phrases related to national cognitive warfare, cybersecurity, and AI transformation consensus. The police found tea items in the trunk, brought the driver to the police station, and noted his behavior resembled those from an earlier incident at AIT. The driver, a 49-year-old man surnamed Du, who was seen circling the Presidential Office before the collision, remained silent during police questioning, and his family has been contacted to assist in clarifying the situation. His mental state appears unstable. The incident involving the spray-painted Mercedes has raised questions about the driver's grievances or demands, which are yet to be disclosed.
