Horror in Athens: Greek-American couple attacked with knife

A man stabbed and injured two Greek-American tourists on Tuesday morning near the Acropolis in Athens, Greece's top tourist attraction.

The attacker stabbed a man and a woman with a knife on a pedestrian street near an entrance to the Acropolis itself and near the entrance to the Acropolis Museum, which is located at the foot of the Acropolis hill. The woman suffered minor injuries to her leg, while the man was more seriously injured with a wound to his arm, police said.

The attacker was arrested at the scene, while the two victims were transported to the hospital by ambulance, authorities said. The identity of the attacker was not clear, but police said he suffered from psychological problems.

The attack did not lead to the closure of the venues, which continued to operate as usual. Greek media reported that the attacker allegedly had casually threatened passersby with a knife and that police were notified by a member of the public.

Violent street attacks are rare in Greece. In April, authorities arrested an 89-year-old man who allegedly opened fire with a shotgun at a social security office and a courthouse in central Athens, wounding at least four people, reportedly over social security complaints.

The Acropolis hill in Athens is home to the nearly 2,500-year-old Parthenon temple, as well as other monuments, and attracts millions of tourists. Last year, about 4.6 million people visited the site.
