A terrorist attack in Villach, Austria, left a 14-year-old boy dead and five others injured when a Syrian asylum seeker, radicalized online, targeted bystanders with a knife. The attacker, who had a valid residence permit and no prior criminal record, was subdued by a local food delivery driver who rammed him with his vehicle. The incident has sparked fears among locals regarding security and immigration policies in Austria. The interior minister confirmed the attack's Islamist motivation linked to the Islamic State, further igniting discussions on radicalization.
I am afraid for my children. I am afraid for those around me. I fear for the future. I fear where this will lead.
I saw a person lying on the ground, a man was attacking other passersby. I didn't think twice and drove at him.
