It was the second knife attack in the city in about 20 days.

The most severely injured victim, a 39-year-old man, had cuts to his skull. None were in critical condition.
The assailant, now in police detention, began to experience mental disorders two to three years ago, his relatives said. He was committed for in-patient treatment several times after beating people.
