A Korean woman was arrested for attacking three passengers with a knife on a Seoul subway train after being called an “Ahjumma” (a term most often used for a married, or middle-aged woman) and asked to turn her cellphone volume down. While the police concluded the attack was “unintentional,” netizens criticized them for being too lenient and not charging attempted murder. The woman had psychiatric drugs in her bag and records of having been treated for mental illnesses, including depression.
