Suspect in Amsterdam knife rampage ‘is from Ukraine'

A man suspected of stabbing five people in central Amsterdam is a 30-year-old Ukrainian national from the eastern Donetsk region, local police said yesterday.

The man is suspected of having wounded five people at random, using multiple knives, during an attack near the busy Dam Square on Thursday afternoon. He was arrested quickly after the incident with the help of a British tourist, sustaining an injury to his leg.

The man, who police said had checked into an Amsterdam hotel on Wednesday, will be brought before a judge on Tuesday to decide on his further detention. Police were still unclear yesterday about the motive for the stabbings and said investigations were ongoing.
