Knife attack in Prague: The attacker was detained by the Czech police  - 1

In Prague, a man was detained by the Czech police, after stabbing a motorcyclist in the neck. The incident, in which two other people were slightly injured, took place at a gas station in the city's Seventh District in the afternoon.

The attack took place around 3:00 p.m. (4:00 p.m. Bulgarian time), reports BTA.

The attacker, a 52-year-old local man who was under the influence of alcohol at the time, reportedly got into an argument with six people, which led to this act of violence.

The reasons for his aggressive behavior remain a mystery, with authorities ruling out terrorism as a motive.

Fortunately, the motorcyclist, despite the neck wound, is not life-threatening and was immediately taken to hospital. The other two victims have minor injuries, but do not require medical assistance.
