Police say that a man attacked passengers on a train in western Austria, seriously wounding two people.
The assault occurred early today near the village of Sulz, in westernmost Vorarlberg province. Police say the attacker, a 60-year old German national, appeared mentally confused.
A 19-year old man suffered wounds to the stomach and back. The other victim, a 17-year old male, had a throat injury. Both were hospitalised.
Police ruled out any connection to Saturday's incident on a Swiss train that left both the attacker and a victim dead after the man attacked passengers with a knife and burning liquid.
