Yoon, whose supporters are denying access to his home, is under investigation for attempting to impose martial law
Authorities were en route to carry out an arrest warrant for the impeached South Korean president, Yoon Suk Yeol, the Yonhap news agency reported early on Friday, as protesters faced off with police outside his residence and vowed to block any attempt.
Yoon is under criminal investigation for his short-lived martial law attempt on 3 December. An arrest would be unprecedented for an incumbent South Korean president.
