Police say that a man attacked passengers on a train in western Austria, seriously wounding two people, reports AP.

The assault occurred early Tuesday near the village of Sulz, in westernmost Vorarlberg province.

Police say the attacker, a 60-year old German national, appeared mentally confused.

A 19-year old man suffered wounds to the stomach and back. The other victim, a 17-year old male, had a throat injury.

Both were hospitalized.
