STORYLINE:
A 23-year-old man stabbed six passersby in southern Austria, Saturday, in what police said was a random attack that left a 14-year-old dead and five others injured.
The suspect was detained by police.
He is a Syrian national with legal residence in Austria.
Police spokesperson Rainer Dionisio said a motive was not immediately known.
He added that police were investigating the attacker’s personal background.
A 42-year-old man who works for a food delivery company witnessed the incident from his car.
He drove toward the suspect and helped to prevent the situation from worsening, Dionisio told Austria’s public broadcaster ORF.
The victims were all male, with two seriously injured and two sustaining minor injuries, police said.
Later Saturday, police said a fifth person, also a man, was injured in the attack.
