Seoul Western District Court issued an arrest warrant on Saturday for a woman in her 50s accused of stabbing a psychiatrist at Severance Hospital in western Seoul. The warrant, seeking the woman's formal arrest, was filed due to the alleged attempted murder charge. The suspect was apprehended on Wednesday following the incident at the hospital.
The doctor, a psychiatry professor, suffered facial and hand injuries from the stabbing. Arriving at the court for the warrant hearing, the suspect made an unusual statement, attributing the motive of her attack to the psychiatry department not providing her with internal medicine treatment in 2018, resulting in her diabetes. However, it was clarified that the woman was not a patient awaiting psychiatry treatment at the hospital.
The wound sustained by the doctor measured approximately 5 centimeters and was treated in the emergency room, though it was noted not to be life-threatening.
