Several hurt, one in ‘cardiac arrest’ in S. Korea market stabbing

A stabbing incident occurred at a supermarket in Incheon, South Korea on Tuesday, resulting in several injuries and one person in cardiac arrest, according to authorities. The suspect has been arrested, and local media reported that around seven individuals were injured. South Korea is typically regarded as a relatively safe country, with a low homicide rate of 1.3 per 100,000 people in 2021.

However, the nation has experienced several stabbing attacks in recent years, including an incident in May 2025 where a man stabbed three police officers and three more were stabbed to death at a pizza restaurant in Seoul in September.
