A suspect involved in a fatal knife attack in the port city of Rotterdam is being suspected of murder with a terror motive, Dutch prosecutors said on Friday.
Witnesses said the 22-year-old man attacked bystanders late Thursday with "large knives" near the city's iconic Erasmus bridge, a popular spot for fitness training classes close to a cafe and bar area.
A 32-year-old man from Rotterdam was fatally wounded. A 33-year-old Swiss national suffered injuries and was admitted to hospital.
"The Public Prosecution Service currently suspects the 22-year-old man of murder and attempted murder with a terrorist motive," public prosecutors said.
