Austrian authorities say the suspect in the deadly stabbing incident had an “Islamist terrorist motive,” reports the Associated Press.
The suspect, a 23-year-old Syrian, stabbed six pedestrians in broad daylight in the Austrian city of Villach on Saturday, killing a 14-year-old boy and injuring five others. He was arrested after the attack.
Interior Minister Gerhard Karner said on Sunday that he was “outraged by the Islamist attacker who indiscriminately stabbed innocent people here in this city.”
