Two Greek American Tourists Stabbed Near Acropolis in Athens, Attacker DetainedPreviousNext

A man stabbed two Greek American tourists near the Acropolis Museum in Athens, Greece, injuring a woman lightly in the leg and a man more seriously in the arm. The attacker, who appeared to have psychological issues, was detained at the scene. Authorities transported the victims to hospital, and the incident did not disrupt access to the Acropolis, a major tourist site visited by millions annually. Such violent attacks are rare in Greece, police said.
