[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Seul-gi] A man in his 60s was sentenced to prison for stabbing two women he encountered on the street with a weapon, injuring them, after believing they were mocking him.

The Ulsan District Court Criminal Division 11 (Chief Judge Park Hyun-bae) announced on the 21st that it sentenced Mr. A, who was tried on charges including attempted murder, to seven years in prison.

The court stated the sentencing reasons, saying, "The defendant had no connection with the victims who were just passing by, yet he provoked them and attempted to kill them, which is a very serious offense," and "He has not been forgiven by the victims."

Earlier, Mr. A was brought to trial on charges of attempting to kill two women in their 50s to 60s by stabbing them with a weapon on a road in Ulsan last November at night.

It was reported that about 10 minutes before the crime, Mr. A got into an argument with three men, then stole a weapon from a restaurant. Afterwards, seeing the women laughing, he thought they were mocking him, called them over, and as the quarrel continued and one of the women pushed him, he flew into a rage and swung the weapon.

One of the injured women suffered an abdominal wound with a recovery period of three weeks, and the other victim sustained injuries to her ribs and other areas with a recovery period of four weeks.
