A is accused of attempting to murder 10 visitors with a weapon around 1:50 p.m. on October 13 at a large commercial complex in Guwol-dong, Namdong-gu, Incheon, which houses a large supermarket and a movie theater.
Among the victims, eight were classified as injured, including a 19-year-old woman who remains unconscious, while two others were found to be unhurt.
