Nine people were stabbed and four others injured by a car driven by the suspected attacker on Thursday in the South Korean city of Seongnam near the capital Seoul, police said.
One person has been arrested, police said in a statement.
The attack happened near Seohyeon Station, an area about 20 km (12.43 miles) from Seoul that is home to a department store and other stores and where many commuters live.
Police said 12 of the victims had been hospitalized.
The motive for the attack was not immediately clear.
The incident comes just days after another rare knife attack in Seoul in which one person was killed and three others injured.
