S. Korea: Stopping Late Night Suicide Attempt

Early morning on July 6th, an unidentified man(left) carrying a knife made a scene attempting to take his own life on the southern end of Young-dong Bridge (in Seoul.) A cop(right) was handing out a cigarette to him, while trying to persuade him to stop. After 8 hours of standoff, police was able to detain him without any incident.

He did carry a big kitchen knife. It helps make a dramatic scene.

Speak softly and carry a big kitchen knife.

A slight translation error, but effective nonetheless.
