Austrian police have taken an Afghan national into custody in the city of Linz on suspicion of stabbing a civilian to death with a knife and wounding a refugee-center staff member.
Both incidents occurred on October 14, police said, with the first one taking place at a refugee center in Wullowitz near the border with the Czech Republic.
The suspect then fled the scene on a bicycle and stabbed to death a nearby resident before hijacking the victim’s car.
Police are still establishing the motive.
