Police detain a suspect in South Korea's 2nd stabbing attack in 2 days
South Korean police have detained a man suspected of stabbing a high school teacher with a knife in the city of Daejeon
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korean police detained a man suspected of stabbing a high school teacher with a knife Friday in the city of Daejeon. The stabbing follows a separate, apparently random attack on Thursday in which 14 people were wounded near a busy subway station in Seongnam.
Officials at the Daejeon Metropolitan Police Agency didn’t immediately release the personal details of the suspect in the Friday morning attack on the teacher at Songchon High School, describing him only as a “man in his 20s or 30s."
According to police, the suspect waited for the teacher to step out of a classroom before stabbing him and fleeing the scene, which, according to officials, suggests they were acquaintances.
Police and fire department authorities did not specify the teacher’s health condition.
