SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korean opposition leader Lee Jae-myung has been stabbed in the neck by an unidentified man during a visit to the southeastern city of Busan. Emergency officials say Lee was attacked Tuesday as he visited the proposed site of a new airport in the city. They say Lee is conscious and isn’t in critical condition. Lee slumped to the ground, where a person pressed a handkerchief to his neck to stop the bleeding. Lee, head of the main opposition Democratic Party, lost the 2022 presidential election to President Yoon Suk Yeol by a very narrow margin.
