Family hurt in stab spree

TWO women and a man from the same family were seriously injured in a knife attack in central Vienna yesterday.

Patrick Maierhofer, a spokesman for Vienna’s police, said the victims were a couple aged 67 and 56 and their daughter, 17.

The attack took place on the large shopping street of Praterstrasse, near a subway stop in the Austrian capital.

The unidentified knifeman was being hunted last night.

Another knife attack shortly afterwards in the same area seriously wounded a 20-yearold Chechen.
