SEOUL - A woman in her 20s was severely injured in a stabbing attack in South Korea’s Ulsan city on July 28, after which the attacker tried to escape by car but was thwarted by the collective effort of people at the scene.
The suspect, in his 30s, is currently under investigation by the Ulsan Bukbu Police Station for the attack, which took place at a hospital carpark at around 3.38pm on July 28.
The victim received severe injuries and had yet to regain consciousness as of July 29 morning.
A group of people at the scene stopped the suspect by blocking his vehicle as he tried to escape. Some then used a fire extinguisher to break the windows and overpower him.
