Dutch prosecutors say that a 22-year-old man arrested after a fatal stabbing in Rotterdam that left one person dead and another seriously wounded is suspected of murder and attempted murder with terrorist intent.

The Rotterdam public prosecution service said Friday that investigations into the suspect, whose identity has not been released, uncovered “ indications that the suspect may be ideologically driven. For example, the suspect shouted Allahu akbar a number of times during the commission of the crimes.”

The stabbing happened Thursday night in central Rotterdam.

The suspect is set to be arraigned on Monday.
