A knife attack at the Acropolis Tuesday morning left two American tourists stabbed and dozens of others fleeing in panic at the site's ticket entrance. The attacker, a 60-year-old man, approached the couple without provocation as a crowd of visitors waited to enter the archaeological site. An eyewitness named Connie, a Greek-Australian visiting with her daughter, described the moment the attack unfolded. She told Orange Press Agency they were standing in line when the doors hadn't yet opened, heard screaming, and turned to see a man with a knife moving toward a woman as if to slit her throat. "We saw the woman on the ground with blood on her back," Connie said, describing how she and her daughter moved away in fear before police and emergency services arrived and took control of the scene. Officers cleared tourists from the ticket area while others gave statements to police. The male victim was more seriously injured than the woman. Both were transported to Athens' Red Cross Hospital for treatment. The attacker was arrested at the scene and is reported to be suffering from severe psychiatric problems. The attack happened early Tuesday at one of the world's most visited ancient landmarks, drawing international attention to security conditions at the site. Greek police and emergency services responded quickly, with tourists gradually returning to the area once the situation was contained. #Athens #Acropolis #Greece
