Two men were stabbed Wednesday at an LG Electronics office in western Seoul, with the suspect currently in custody, authorities said.

The suspect stabbed the men — one in his 50s and the other in his 40s — at the company's office in Magok-dong around 11 a.m. The suspect, an employee of a partner firm of LG Electronics, claimed he was harassed by the victims.

The victims, who sustained serious injuries in their ribs and arms, were taken to the hospital. Neither was in a life-threatening condition, officials said.

The suspect was apprehended around noon near Digital Media City Station. Officials said he called the police to turn himself in while heading to a police station.
