Two teens have been seriously wounded after a German man attacked passengers on a train with a knife. Police have said the man was "by all accounts mentally ill" and are not investigating the case as an act of terrorism.
A 60-year-old German man attacked passengers with a knife on a train in western Austria on Tuesday morning, police said.
"The man did not have a migration background. He is by all accounts mentally ill and we are largely excluding a terrorist act," police spokesman Horst Spitzhofer told news agency AFP.
The suspect was en route to the city of Bregenz when he suddenly jumped up and stabbed a 19-year-old man in the stomach and back. A 17-year-old male suffered a throat injury after the suspect slashed his neck, police said.
