Turkish police have arrested an 18-year-old masked man after five people were wounded in a stabbing attack in the northwestern city of Eskisehir, Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said on Tuesday.
Wearing a helmet, a skull face covering and a bulletproof vest, the attacker stabbed five people sitting in the garden of a mosque, leaving two in critical condition, according to media reports.
Turkish media broadcast a video filmed by the assailant as he rushed through the garden area, with people fleeing as he approached. State-owned Anadolu Agency said the man had carried out the attack under the influence of video games but did not specify a source for the assertion.
Yerlikaya said on Tuesday that police detained the suspect after what he described as a random attack. Prosecutors have launched an investigation into the incident, Justice Minister Yilmaz Tunc said on X.
