A man stabs at least eight people at a shopping mall in Incheon, South Korea, police and emergency officials say. Multiple reports describe victims being injured and one person suffering cardiac arrest. Bystanders subdue the attacker at the scene before police take him into custody.
Outlets report the attack occurs at a supermarket within a mall building. Korea Times and other coverage say the suspect is believed to be in his 60s and is arrested shortly after the assault. One report says he wears electronic monitoring equipment at the time, while Korea Times describes knives strapped to both hands and the location within the building, including an escalator route between floors. All injured people are taken to hospitals, and an emergency medical center is set up in the mall in case of additional casualties.
Authorities say they investigate the suspect’s motive. Reporting differs slightly on the injured-person details, with some outlets citing eight injuries and others emphasizing the cardiac arrest case.
