Police unable to identify mystery Karachi knifeman

    Police in Karachi have been unable to identify what is believed to be a lone knife attacker.

    Six attacks on women in the Gulistan-i-Jauhar area of the city last week has prompted an investigation by authorities.

    Local reports claim five of the victims received minor injuries and were treated at a local hospital.

    Six people have been detained but it remains unclear who the attacker was and whether the cases are in fact linked.

    A senior police official has announced a Rs. 500,000 reward for anyone providing information leading to the arrest of the alleged suspect.
