On Saturday, a 23-year-old man was taken into custody after allegedly stabbing five passersby in Villach and killing one of them.
Authorities said the man is a Syrian citizen with legal residence in Austria.
Police spokesman Rainer Dionisio said no motives were revealed immediately and authorities were investigating the attacker's personal past.
“We have to wait until we have safe information,” he said.
He also said a 42-year-old man who works for a food delivery company witnessed the incident from his car and ran towards the suspect to help prevent things from getting worse.
Police said they are continuing to search for potential suspects as it is unclear whether the individual acted alone.
