SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- South Korean media say U.S. Ambassador Mark Lippert has been attacked while giving a lecture and taken to a hospital for treatment.

Yonhap news agency said Lippert was injured, but it wasn't clear the exact nature of his injuries. YTN TV showed a picture of Lippert bleeding from the head and wrist but said his injuries weren't seen as life threatening. Calls to Embassy and police weren't immediately returned on Thursday. YTN said a man only identified by his surname, Kim, was arrested after the attack.
News from The Associated Press
 
Is there any information on why he was attacked? Anything specific or just a general situation? Hopefully it's not too serious and he's okay soon.
