A seven-year-old girl was killed and several other children wounded when a knife-wielding assailant attacked a teacher and students at a primary school in Croatia on Friday, Health Minister Irena Hristic said.
The attack took place at Precko Elementary School in the Precko neighborhood of the capital, Zagreb.
“The attacker is in police custody and the injured are receiving medical attention,” Zagreb police said.
Minister Hristic said the attacker was over 18, while some media reported he was 19.
