TUNIS (Reuters) – A man fatally stabbed a policeman on duty outside the Brazilian embassy in Tunis on Monday before police shot the attacker in the leg and arrested him, the Interior Ministry said.
A ministry official said the attacker, 53, was mentally ill and the stabbing was not being treated as terrorism.
The policeman later died from his wounds, a spokesperson for the Interior Ministry said.
