One killed, 12 hurt in South Korea stabbing incident near Seoul

A man in a South Korean commuter town rammed his car into passers-by on Thursday, then got out and stabbed some, killing one person and injuring another 12, police and media said. 

Video footage showed police officers and bloodstains at the scene where nine people were stabbed in a department store in Seongnam near the capital Seoul.

Police said Thursday's assailant was arrested after apparently hitting people randomly. Media reports described him as a man in his 20s with a delivery job and suffering from some mental health issues.

The unexplained attack came days after another rare stabbing attack which killed one person and wounded three others.
