One
person has been arrested, police said in a statement.
The attack occurred near Seohyeon station, an area about 20 km
(12.43 miles) from Seoul that has a large department store and
other shops and where many commuters live.
Police said 12 of the victims had been hospitalised.
The motive for the attack was not immediately clear.
The incident comes just days after another rare stabbing attack
in Seoul in which one person was killed and three others
wounded.
