[LEAD]
A student at a high school attacked others with a weapon, injuring six people. Moments after the attack inside the school, the student continued to wield the weapon outside.

[REPORT]
A man approaches a car waiting at a traffic light.

After knocking on the car and the window rolls down, the suspect suddenly stabs the driver with a weapon and flees.

Victim / (VOICE MODIFIED)
When I opened the window, he gave me a blank look for one or two seconds. He stabbed me here in the face and ran away.

The suspect was a student attending a nearby high school.

Around 8:30 a.m. on Monday, the student strangled a counselor during a session about relationship issues at school.

The student ran into the first-floor hallway and attacked the principal and two staff members with a weapon.

He then fled the school and shoved and threatened a pedestrian on the street.

Six people, including the faculty members and driver, were injured with no threats to life.

More weapons were found in the student's bag.

The Chungcheongbuk-do Office of Education said the student has an intellectual disability, but was attending a regular class, not a special education class he was eligible for.

The student jumped into a reservoir near the school but was rescued and is now being questioned by police.
