Police in Seoul have formally requested an arrest warrant for an older man suspected of setting two buildings ablaze, resulting in 19 people being injured. The suspect was apprehended soon after the arson attacks took place at two patent firms located in Seoul's Gangnam district on Tuesday. Following the incidents, one victim required emergency medical attention, including being rushed to a hospital and placed in cardiac arrest.
The suspect confessed to investigators that he acquired two jerrycans, a lighter, and flammable materials near his residence in western Seoul on Friday.
