Reporter Park, nearly three hours have passed since the incident. How is the situation right now?
[기자]
The door on the first floor of the building is now locked.
However, you can see lights lit up everywhere, including on the third floor of the building where the incident occurred.
About 10 minutes ago, about 10 employees who were inside came out at once, but they did not answer any questions from the reporters asking about the case.
[앵커]
Three people said they were injured. So how much did you get hurt?
[기자]
Fortunately, it is said that the lives of the victims are not critical.
All three are being transported to the same hospital nearby and undergoing treatment.
The report of the incident to the police at the Jamsil Tax Office here is around 5:00 PM.
The story was about a man holding a weapon and stabbing an employee at the tax office with a weapon.
The police immediately called, but the police explained that two employees had already been stabbed by a weapon and one of the victims had been injured in the face.
[앵커]
What kind of person is the perpetrator, and why has it been confirmed?
[기자]
The perpetrator is said to be a male mother in her 50s.
Since the perpetrator committed self-harm while being transported to the hospital, the police must investigate why he committed this crime because he died while doing self-harm.
However, as a result of our interview, it was confirmed that one of the victims recently filed a request for temporary injunction with the police against the perpetrator.
An IRS official said the man tried to harm the female employee and believed that two employees were harmed in the process of suppressing it to stop it.
