Eight people were wounded in a stabbing at a supermarket in the South Korean city of Incheon on Tuesday (October 13), with one person suffering cardiac arrest, police said.

Officers responding to the scene arrested a male suspect and were investigating the motive and circumstances of the attack, a police spokesperson said by telephone.

A witness cited by Yonhap News Agency said the suspect appeared to have knives tethered to both hands and moved through several floors of the shopping complex, attacking people as he went before being subdued by bystanders and handed over to police.

South Korean media reports described the suspect as a man in his 60s who was wearing an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet. The victims included six women and two men, with a woman in her 20s in cardiac arrest, the reports said.
