South Korea's opposition Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung was stabbed in the neck during a visit to the southern port city of Busan on Tuesday, according to local media reports. Lee was attacked by an unidentified man while touring the site of a proposed airport.
The assailant was identified as a man in his 50s or 60s, who asked Lee for an autograph, then suddenly lunged forward to attack him. He was quickly arrested and subdued at the scene, as Lee grimaced and collapsed to the ground.
