LISBON — Two people have been stabbed to death at a Muslim religious center in the Portuguese capital Lisbon, police say.

The attack took place at the Ismaili Center. The suspect, who was in possession of a large knife, is reportedly of Afghan origin.

Local media say he was shot and wounded by police, who then detained him. The motive is not clear.

Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa said it appeared to be "an isolated act" and discussing a possible motive was "premature".

An employee at the Ismaili Center told Portuguese news website Sapo: "It all happened very quickly. The police are here in the center investigating." — BBC
