Eight people have been injured after a 59-year-old man allegedly attacked shoppers with knives fastened to both hands at a commercial complex in Incheon, South Korea. A woman in her 20s suffered cardiac arrest and underwent emergency surgery but had not regained consciousness.

The attack happened at about 1:40pm on Tuesday, 13 October, at a commercial building housing a Homeplus supermarket in Guwol-dong, west of Seoul. The suspect moved between floors on an escalator before shoppers threw chairs at him and subdued him. The victims comprised six women and two men.
