In the "SEE&SEE" commercial complex in Guilu-dong, Namdong-gu, South Korea, at about 1:49 pm today (13th), a 59-year-old man stabbed eight people with a knife tied to his hands. One of the injured, a 20-year-old woman, lost her heartbeat. Customers and restaurant owners in the building's food court acted bravely and worked together to suppress the man to prevent him from rushing into the movie theater and causing more casualties.

According to Yonhap News Agency, a 31-year-old male customer who was dining in the food court on the second floor revealed that the suspect tied knives to his hands and took the escalator up from the supermarket chain Homeplus in the basement. During the process, he swung the knife to kill people he saw.

The customer said that after hearing the screams, he and the owner of the food court store immediately picked up chairs to block the place where the gangster might go. The suspect then came to the third floor from the escalator and was about to continue to the cinema on the fourth floor. When he saw that the direction to the fourth floor was blocked by chairs, he returned to the third floor.

The customer said that he and two other people used chairs to subdue the gangster on the third floor. The other party did not say a word during the process, and the police who arrived at the scene later handled the situation. Customers pointed out that the suspect was about 165 centimeters tall, and judging from the fact that he had knives tied to his hands, he seemed to be premeditated to commit the crime.
