SEOUL: The 59-year-old man suspected of carrying out a stabbing attack in South Korea’s Incheon on Oct 13 told the police he targeted people he considered physically weaker and that he wanted to draw public attention, the police said on Oct 14.
The suspect told investigators he held a grudge against a hospital where he had received treatment for athlete’s foot because his symptoms had not improved, according to Namdong Police Station. He had staged solo protests outside the hospital since August, at times carrying a weapon.
