At least 13 people have been injured in an attack by a man close to the South Korean capital, Seoul.

The incident happened near a subway station in the commuter town of Seongnam just before 18:00 local time (09:00 GMT) on Thursday.

Some people were stabbed, while others were reportedly hit by a car the attacker was driving.

The suspect was later arrested at the scene. The motivation for the attack is unclear.

Local media described the attack as a “rampage”.

It comes nearly two weeks after another rare stabbing in Seoul. One person was killed and three others were injured.
