一名男子在韩国仁川一家超市持刀刺伤多人后被捕，这是韩国罕见的持刀袭击事件。据当地新闻报道，周二下午的事件中有八人受伤。
A man has been arrested after stabbing several people at a supermarket in Incheon, in a rare knife attack in South Korea. Eight people were wounded in the incident on Tuesday afternoon, according to local news reports.
仁川南东警察局称，嫌疑人是一名59岁男子，当地时间13时40分（格林尼治标准时间05时40分）在扶梯上，双手绑刀实施了袭击。旁观者用椅子挡住他的去路将其制服，随后被警方拘留。
The 59-year-old suspect was reported to have carried out the attack at 13:40 local time (05:40 BST) with knives strapped to both of his hands, while travelling on an escalator, according to Incheon Namdong Police Station. The man was subdued by bystanders who used chairs to block his path and was later detained by police officers.
执法部门目前正在调查嫌疑人作案动机。袭击发生在韩国最大的折扣超市连锁店之一Homeplus的当地门店。所有八名受伤者——六名女性和两名男性——均被送往医院。其中一人出现“心脏骤停”，其余人则背部和肩部受伤。针对伤亡情况，当局在大楼一层设立了应急医疗中心。据当地报道，当局从嫌疑人背包中搜出十把刀。嫌疑人在袭击时佩戴着电子脚镜脚环。报道称，他曾因刺伤前妻而被判处谋杀未遂罪，服刑四年。
Law enforcement is currently investigating the suspect's motives for the attack, which took place at a local outlet of Homeplus, one of South Korea's largest discount supermarket chains. All eight victims - six women and two men - were taken to the hospital. One of them suffered from "cardiac arrest", while the others had injuries to their back and shoulders. In response to the casualties, authorities had set up an emergency medical centre on the building's first floor. According to local reports, authorities recovered ten knives from the suspect's backpack. The suspect was wearing an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet at the time of the attack. Reports said he had been previously convicted for attempted murder after he stabbed his ex-wife, and had spent four years in prison. He had also reportedly been booked by police last month on suspicion of carrying a knife while holding a one-man protest in front of an Incheon hospital over medical treatment he had received.
此外，据称他上个月因在仁川一家医院前进行一人抗议，抗议其所接受的医疗待遇，而被警方以涉嫌携带刀具为由立案。此次袭击发生在一个以公共安全标准高著称的国家。
The attack happened in a country known for its high public safety standards. South Korea recorded about 0.5 homicides per 100,000 people in 2024, according Statistics Korea.
根据韩国统计厅数据，2024年韩国每10万人中的杀人案件约为0.5起，这大约是全球平均水平的十分之一。
That is about one-tenth of the global average.
然而，2023年该国发生一系列看似随机且暴力的袭击事件，导致多人死伤，引发广泛恐慌。
However, a series of seemingly random and violent attacks across the country in 2023, which resulted in multiple fatalities and injuries, caused widespread fear.
此类攻击被称为“Mudjima”或“别问为什么”犯罪，用来描述由与受害者毫无关联且没有明显动机的人对陌生人实施的暴力行为。
Such attacks were known as 'Mudjima' or 'Don't Ask Why' crimes, a term used to describe acts of violence targeting strangers conducted by people with no personal link to the victims nor had obvious motives.
2025年4月，一名三十多岁的男子在一家超市随机袭击陌生人，导致一名六十多岁的女性死亡。
In April 2025, a man in his thirties attacked random strangers at a supermarket resulting in the death of a woman in her sixties.
