At approximately 10:25 p.m. today (June 17), a man in his 30s was taken to the hospital after threatening people with a weapon and inflicting self-harm in front of Gates 1-3 of the Olympic Park Handball Gymnasium in Songpa-gu, Seoul.
The man reportedly brandished a weapon and threatened people, claiming that "someone is dying inside the handball gymnasium," before cutting his own arm during a standoff with the police.
It has been confirmed that the man was arrested by police at the scene and is scheduled to undergo surgery after being transported to the hospital.
The police have confiscated the weapon used by the man and plan to investigate the circumstances of the incident once he has finished receiving medical treatment.
