Incheon police have announced that three criminal profilers will assist in questioning the suspect responsible for a stabbing spree that left eight individuals injured this week. The incident occurred on Tuesday afternoon at a shopping complex, located west of Seoul, according to Incheon's Namdong Police Station. The 59-year-old suspect was apprehended at the scene, suspected of attempted murder, and is currently in custody.
During his initial statements to investigators, the suspect provided some details about the attack. One victim, a woman in her 20s, experienced a cardiac arrest and underwent surgery, while the other seven victims were treated at hospitals. The assailant allegedly wielded knives in both hands, targeting people as he moved between floors on an escalator before being subdued by shoppers who threw chairs at him.
At the time of the attack, the suspect was found to be in possession of a large quantity of drugs, but a preliminary drug test conducted by the police revealed no traces of drugs in his system. Police officials plan to seek an arrest warrant for the suspect following today's questioning.
