Desk: According to police, nine people were stabbed and four others were
injured by a car driven by the alleged assailant in Seongnam, a commuter town
in South Korea not far from the capital Seoul. Seongnam is an affluent
satellite city of Seoul, and the Bundang district, where the crime took place,
is known for its residential areas and secure streets, yet the two stabbings
raised suspicion online.
According to the News
Agency, at least one victim of the stabbing incident in South Korea passed away
on Thursday. According to a statement from the police, one individual has been
detained. The incident took place close to Seohyeon station, which is around 20
kilometers from Seoul and features a sizable department store and other stores.
Police said 12 of the victims had been hospitalized.
Images from the
incident on Thursday, which have not been officially verified, appeared to show
a bloody floor and at least one emergency medical chopper nearby. On July 21, a
second stabbing assault occurred in the South Korean capital, leaving one
person dead and three more injured.
On Twitter, which is
now called X, a netizen remarked, "The attack (near the) Seohyeon station
is really terrifying." "How can we feel safe and at ease leaving the
house when things like this happen?"
