VIENNA (Reuters) - Four people were seriously wounded in two knife attacks in a district of the Austrian capital, Vienna, on Wednesday evening, but a motive or any connection between the assaults was unclear, a police spokesman said. The stabbings - the first of which took place at 7:45 p.m. (1845 GMT), occurred in Vienna's Second District, which includes the famous Prater park as well as the Praterstern transport hub. The three people were seriously injured and their lives are in danger," the spokesman said, adding later that they were Austrian citizens. "And half an hour later, there was another attack ... at Praterstern and here a person was also seriously injured and their life is in danger. Vienna has not experienced deadly attacks by Islamist militants like the ones that have struck Paris, Berlin and Brussels since 2015.
