Two pastors allegedly stabbed each other during a knife fight, police said.

According to Geumcheon Police Station in Seoul, Friday, a 68-year-old pastor surnamed Hwang of a church in Jungnang-gu, northern Seoul, visited another pastor surnamed Park from a church in Doksan-dong, Geumcheon-gu, southwestern Seoul, Thursday.

Carrying a knife, Hwang allegedly stabbed Park in the chest and arms while he was making coffee.

The 47-year-old Park then got control of Hwang’s knife and stabbed the older pastor.

They were sent to different hospitals for treatment of minor knife wounds.

According to sources, the two pastors were mad at each other because each believed the other had slandered him.

Police said they will launch an investigation as soon as the two recover from their injuries.
