SEOUL — A student stabbed three people in a knife attack at a South Korean high school Monday morning and injured two others, police said.
The attack happened around 8:36 a.m. at a school in Cheongju, 110 kilometers south of Seoul, according to police reports. Police received a report that 'a student had stabbed someone in a classroom with a knife,' Chungbuk Provincial Police Agency said in a statement sent to reporters. Three people were seriously injured, including the school's headmaster, who suffered an abdominal stab wound, and a government employee who was stabbed in his chest.
The student attempted to flee to a nearby lakeside park, where he jumped into the lake, but was apprehended just 12 minutes after the initial report, according to Cheongju police. The 18-year-old was taken to a hospital as he suffered minor injuries. 'We are trying to determine the details and motive,' a local police official told AFP. The case comes just months after a teacher fatally stabbed an eight-year-old student at an elementary school in South Korea.
