A woman in her 30s has been arrested for stabbing her father with a weapon in Seoul's Gangdong-gu.

Judge Lee Ha-rim of the Seoul Eastern District Court held a pre-trial detention hearing (warrant legality hearing) today (October 24) for the woman in her 30s, identified as A, who faces charges of special bodily injury to an ascendant, and issued an arrest warrant stating there is a "concern of flight."

A is suspected of stabbing her biological father, a man in his 60s, with a weapon at their home in Gangdong-gu at around 8:00 PM on October 21.

The victim reportedly called the police himself, walked outside the building, and was transported by emergency services. His life is reportedly not in danger.

The dispatched police officers arrested A at the scene and requested an arrest warrant for her on October 22.

A reportedly stated during police questioning that she committed the crime out of anger during an argument with her father.
