[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Taewon] A man in his 60s who injured a woman with a weapon for refusing to meet her has been handed over to the prosecution.

On the 28th, the Gangdong Police Station in Seoul sent Mr. A, who is accused of attempted murder and violating the Stalking Punishment Act, to the prosecution at around 7:45 a.m. that day.

Wearing a black padded jacket as he left the detention center, he did not answer any questions from reporters such as "Do you admit the charges?" or "When did you plan the crime?" and boarded the transport vehicle.

Mr. A is accused of approaching the victim, a woman in her 50s named Ms. B, at a bus stop in Seongnae-dong, Gangdong-gu, Seoul on the 19th, and swinging a weapon at her while saying, "Why won't you meet me?"

Ms. B sustained wounds on three parts of her face, including her forehead and both cheeks, but was immediately taken to the hospital after the attack and received treatment, and it is known that her life is not in danger.

The two were previously acquaintances who met at a karaoke room. It is reported that Mr. A attempted to approach Ms. B twice before the crime to find out her commuting route.

The police responded to a witness's report and arrested Mr. A in the act. Afterwards, the court issued an arrest warrant, and the police have been investigating Mr. A.
