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. All three family members, the 67-year-old father, the 56-year-old mother and their 17-year-old daughter, suffered life-threatening injuries and were taken to the hospital.
The names of the victims were not given.
