On Tuesday, a stabbing incident occurred at a supermarket in Incheon, a coastal city in South Korea, leaving one person in cardiac arrest and several others injured, according to authorities. The Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters reported that around seven people were wounded in the incident. Local media sources indicated that a male suspect was subsequently arrested.
South Korea is generally regarded as a safe nation, with a relatively low homicide rate of 1.3 per 100,000 people in 2021, significantly lower than the global average of about six per 100,000. Despite this generally low crime rate, the country has experienced several stabbing attacks in recent years. In May 2025, a man stabbed three police officers, and in September of the same year, three individuals were stabbed to death at a pizza restaurant in Seoul.
