South Korean media say U.S. Ambassador Mark Lippert has been attacked while giving a lecture and taken to a hospital for treatment. The U.S. Embassy says he is in "stable condition" after razor blade attacks to cheeks and hand.


South Korean news channel YTN TV showed a picture of Lippert bleeding from the head and wrist but said his injuries weren't seen as life threatening. YTN said a man only identified by his surname, Kim, was arrested after the attack.
