Dacic said the attacker was a minor whose identity had not yet been established but was believed to be from the city of Sabac. He said the suspect attacked a police officer with two knives, prompting authorities to raise the country's terrorism alert level to its highest level, according to Agence France-Presse.

The Interior Ministry said in a statement that the officer killed the attacker in self-defense. The officer sustained minor facial injuries after being stabbed during the incident, which occurred shortly after midnight.
