The U.S. ambassador to South Korea, Mark Lippert, was slashed in the face and arm by a knife-wielding man Thursday morning local time (late evening Wednesday ET) in Seoul, officials said.
The envoy was on his way to attend a morning lecture in central Seoul when the attack took place, according to the Yonhap news agency, which published a picture of Lippert bleeding.
Lippert suffered a four-inch-long, one-inch-deep gash down the right side of his face and another cut on his arm, a hospital official said. Lippert underwent a successful three-hour surgery Thursday morning and was in stable condition," Yonsei Severance Hospital chief Chung Nam-sik told reporters.
