SEOUL, January 16 (AJP) - Actress Nana has been cleared of assault charges filed by a man who allegedly broke into her home late last year, police said Friday.

Police in Guri, Gyeonggi Province said they would not pursue charges of attempted murder and assault against Nana in a countersuit filed by the intruder, determining that her actions were in self-defense.

After questioning Nana last week, police concluded that her actions were lawful self-defense, in line with prosecutors who had placed the man in his 30s in custody on robbery charges.

The case drew renewed attention online earlier this month after the suspect, arrested for breaking into Nana's home, filed a complaint from a detention center, claiming the actress injured him with a weapon.

He allegedly climbed a ladder to Nana's home in the early hours of Nov. 15, entered through an unlocked door, and demanded valuables. Nana, who woke to her mother's screams, tried to stop him. During the confrontation, Nana reportedly injured the man's jaw while defending herself.
