Knife attacker shot outside Iranian ambassador's residence in Vienna

AVA-The 26-year-old assailant’s motive for the attack, which took place around 11:30 p.m., was unclear and video footage would be reviewed, a police spokesman said.
“The attacker stabbed the soldier repeatedly. He was only saved by a stab-proof vest,” the spokesman said, adding that the two men ended up grappling on the ground.
“The soldier defended himself well and was then able to reach for his service weapon and fire shots,” he added.
