[Video] A violent criminal who "committed a deadly crime"... “Hurry up” urgent report

(Seoul = Yonhap News) A man in his 50s who brandished a weapon and injured eight citizens at a large commercial facility in Incheon appeared in the media for the first time since the incident.

Mr. A (59), who is suspected of attempted murder and possession of a weapon in a public place, entered the Incheon District Court on the afternoon of the 16th, where interrogation (substantive warrant review) was held before arrest.

He said, ‘Why did you commit a crime against strangers? When reporters asked him if he had anything to say to the victims, he responded, "I'm sorry. I committed a deadly sin."

Next, to the question, 'Did you try to run away with 6.8 million won?', he gave a somewhat lengthy answer, saying, "I didn't intend to run away, but because I was under pressure. I was advised by the hospital that they would take even a 10 won note, so I looked for it to donate if I was in a hurry and it was definitely not a run away."

Meanwhile, the urgent response of citizens at the time of the incident was fully captured in the 'Accident Report Transcript' released on this day. For more details, please watch the video.
