Stabbed South Korean opposition leader 'recovering well' – doctor

SEOUL: South Korean opposition party leader Lee Jae-myung, who was stabbed in the neck, is recovering well but still needs close monitoring to avoid complications, a Seoul National University Hospital doctor said Thursday.

Lee was surrounded by journalists in the southern port city of Busan on Tuesday when a man pretending to be a supporter pushed through the crowd and lunged at him, stabbing him on the left side of his neck with a knife.
