SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - A South Korean court on Friday sentenced a U.S. soldier to 2 1/2 years in prison for stabbing a South Korean man during a drunken brawl.

Pvt. John C. Humphrey was convicted of attempted homicide after stabbing a 27-year-old man in the neck with his military knife on May 15. The victim survived.

"The victim would have died if the knife slipped a bit deeper," Judge Choi Wan-ju of the Seoul Central District Court said in a ruling.

The victim, whose name was not released, intervened when the drunken soldier and fellow GIs stomped on a taxi on a downtown street in Seoul, according to local reports.
