Seoul: Police say eight people have been stabbed or cut in a rampage at a subway station just outside of South Korea`s capital.

Two police officers say no one was killed when a man used a large knife to attack people on Saturday in Uijeongbu. They say a man was arrested running away from the station.

Authorities are still trying to figure out how serious the injuries are and what the motive was.

The officers spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren`t authorised to speak to the media.
