An Albanian man with a knife attacked and wounded five people on Monday at a mosque in the capital Tirana, police said, as investigators tried to determine a motive for the attack.
Rudolf Nikolli, 34, entered the Dine Hoxha mosque in downtown Tirana shortly after midday, a police statement said.
The police said they reacted immediately after the attack began and took him into custody. The Top Channel private television station, however, showed worshippers blocking Nikolli before the police arrived.
The five wounded worshippers, all men ranging from 22 to 35, were taken to a hospital and police said their conditions weren’t life-threatening.
