Tourists Stabbed Near Athens' Acropolis, Greece's Top Attraction
Police say two visitors were injured by a man near the ancient site
A man stabbed and injured two tourists near the Acropolis in Athens, Greece's most visited landmark, police said Monday.
The attack took place close to the ancient hilltop citadel, which draws millions of visitors each year and ranks among the country's most heavily guarded tourist sites, according to CBS News and ABC News. Both outlets reported that police confirmed two tourists were injured in the stabbing but did not immediately release further details on the suspect's identity or motive.
The Acropolis, home to the Parthenon and other monuments dating to the fifth century B.C., sits at the center of Athens' historic core and is typically packed with visitors during the summer tourist season.
