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

At around 12:30 PM today, reports were filed with police and fire authorities that a woman had been stabbed at Wondang Station on Subway Line 3 in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province.

[Witness: That area was packed with police officers and firefighters. From what I heard, there was an argument inside and a weapon was used... The victim was taken to the hospital, and another person was restrained and taken away by the police.]

It was found that Mr. A, a male station worker working at Wondang Station, swung a weapon at a female colleague inside the station office.

Mr. A, in his 30s, was subdued by other employees at the scene and arrested on the spot by dispatched police officers on charges of attempted murder.

[Station Official: Both of them are employees here. We are also shocked right now.]

The 30-year-old female victim suffered severe injuries to her neck and legs and was rushed to the hospital while unconscious, though she reportedly still has a pulse.

The victim is Mr. A's superior. Police stated that the two were not in a romantic relationship and that it was not a stalking case, presuming workplace conflict to be the motive for the crime.

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

A police official stated, "It appears that Mr. A brought the weapon used in the crime," adding, "We are investigating whether he usually carries the weapon or recently acquired it specifically for the crime."

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