British Man Arrested in UK After Stabbing Woman at Seoul University and Fleeing

A British man in his 30s who stabbed a female acquaintance with a weapon at a university in Seoul and fled to the United Kingdom has been captured by local authorities.

The Korean National Police Agency announced that, in cooperation with the UK's National Extradition Unit (NEU), they arrested the British national, identified as A, on the 8th local time on charges of attempted murder.

A is accused of stabbing a 20-something woman, B, an acquaintance, in the neck with a weapon at a university in Seoul at around 11:50 a.m. on September 29, and then leaving the country.

Immediately after A fled, the National Police Agency requested an Interpol Red Notice.

Through cooperation with Interpol, authorities subsequently confirmed that A had entered the UK.

A Red Notice is a request to law enforcement agencies worldwide to locate and arrest a fugitive.

A Korean police attaché dispatched to the UK worked closely with the local National Extradition Unit to pinpoint A's location.

As a result, A was apprehended nine days after fleeing abroad.

The National Police Agency stated, "We plan to promptly pursue A's extradition back to South Korea through extradition procedures in cooperation with the Ministry of Justice and other relevant organizations."
