Criminal profilers enlisted to uncover motive behind Incheon stabbing spree

A 59-year-old man was arrested at the scene of a stabbing spree that left eight people injured at an Incheon shopping complex on Tuesday afternoon. Witnesses said he attacked shoppers while moving between floors on an escalator, using knives in both hands, until shoppers threw chairs and overpowered him. Among the victims, a woman in her twenties went into cardiac arrest and needed surgery; the remaining seven were treated in hospitals.

Police discovered a substantial amount of drugs on the suspect, but an initial test showed no substances. He is being held on suspicion of attempted murder, and three criminal profilers have been called in to help uncover the motive behind the assault. A police official indicated that an arrest warrant will be filed after the suspect is questioned by the profilers.
