Austrian police detain suspect following Vienna knife attack
BERLIN (AP) — Austrian police say they have detained a 23-year-old suspect in connection with knife attacks in Vienna in which four people were injured.
Police spokesman Patrick Maierhofer said in a statement Thursday the male suspect was detained shortly after a 20-year-old man was stabbed and brought to the hospital with life-threatening injuries Wednesday night.
Police say they are still investigating whether the suspect is also responsible for the stabbing of a family of three an hour earlier, also in the heart of Vienna. They did not release any further details on the identity of the suspect.
