“One person is in cardiac arrest and around seven others have been injured,” said an official from the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters.
Officers responding to the scene arrested a male suspect and were investigating the motive and circumstances of the attack, a police spokesperson said.
Incheon, west of Seoul, is home to South Korea’s main airport and forms part of the capital’s wider metropolitan area.
South Korea was shaken by a series of stabbing rampages in 2023, including attacks that left multiple people dead and injured.
More recently in May, a 17-year-old girl was fatally stabbed and another teenager hurt in the southwestern city of Gwangju by a man in his 20s, who was later sentenced by a court to life in prison. (Reuters & AFP)
