An ambulance speeds down an eight-lane road, followed closely by two police cars.

Police and fire authorities received a report that a woman had been stabbed with a weapon at Wondang Station on Seoul Subway Line 3 in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province.

[Witness: It was swarming over there. Police officers and firefighters. From what I heard, there was a dispute inside and a weapon was used... (The victim) was taken to the hospital and another person was taken away in handcuffs by the police.]

It was found that a male station worker, surnamed A, who works at Wondang Station, wielded a weapon against his female coworker inside the station office.

The suspect in his 30s, A, was subdued by other staff members at the scene and arrested red-handed by responding police officers on charges of attempted murder.

[Station Official: Both of them are (Wondang Station) employees. We are shocked by this as well.]

The female station worker in his 30s suffered severe injuries to her neck and legs, and was transported to the hospital unconscious, though she reportedly still has a pulse.

The victim was A's supervisor. Police believe the two were not in a romantic relationship and that stalking was not involved, instead presuming workplace conflict to be the motive for the crime.

It has been confirmed that A is currently refusing to make any statements to the police.

A police official stated, "It appears that A brought the weapon used in the crime," adding, "We are investigating whether he carried the weapon regularly or recently obtained it for the crime."

Police plan to apply for an arrest warrant for A tomorrow.
