Seoul's Western District Court issued an arrest warrant on Saturday for a woman in her 50s accused of stabbing a doctor at Severance Hospital, according to the court. The warrant was issued for charges of attempted murder due to the suspect's risk of fleeing. The incident occurred on Wednesday when the woman allegedly stabbed a psychiatry professor at the hospital with a knife.
The doctor sustained injuries to his face and hand, with the wound measuring around 5 centimeters and not life-threatening. During an arrest warrant hearing, the suspect rambled about alleged mistreatment at Severance Hospital's psychiatry department in 2018, causing her diabetes. The woman was apprehended after the attack and denied being a patient waiting for psychiatry treatment at the hospital.
