At a hair salon in downtown Geoje, Gyeongsangnam-do, a man is seen pacing outside before suddenly rushing inside.

Moments later, a woman who had been stabbed runs out, and nearby citizens also flee in shock.

Soon after, another victim, a man, also exits the salon bleeding.

The incident occurred around 11:30 a.m. today (July 2).

An 80-year-old man, identified as A, suddenly attacked a salon employee and a customer with a weapon.

This is the scene of the incident.

The suspect, A, was arrested by responding police while sitting calmly in the salon immediately after the crime.

It is believed that A had prepared two weapons in advance before entering the salon.

[Nearby Citizen: At first, I thought it was dogs fighting, so I walked past for two or three seconds, but then I heard serious screaming. When I looked, a woman came toward me bleeding, holding her chest and bowing her head...]

The two victims were transported to a hospital for treatment, and it is reported that both have regained consciousness.

The police transferred A to a hospital after he claimed to have ingested poison following the crime. They are currently monitoring his health condition while investigating the exact motive behind the attack.
