Incheon:Prosecutors have indicted a man on charges of attempting to murder 10 people in a stabbing spree at a shopping complex last month.
According to Yonhap News Agency, Choi Choong-rak, 59, faces charges of attempted murder and weapons possession for allegedly stabbing victims at the site in Incheon, just west of Seoul, on October 13. The attack resulted in seven people being injured.
Choi reportedly used knives taped to both of his hands during the incident before police apprehended him. He remains in custody following a court's issuance of a warrant for his formal arrest. During police questioning, Choi claimed that he carried out the attack due to anger over medical treatment he received at a local hospital.
Choi has a criminal record with 10 prior convictions, including two for attempted murder, and was wearing an electronic ankle monitor at the time of the rampage.
