TUNIS, June 30 (Xinhua) -- The Tunisian Ministry of the Interior said two German tourists, a mother and her daughter, were stabbed earlier Friday in Nabeul, a coastal town in northeastern Tunisia.

The incident is "not a terrorist attack" and the aggressor "has been suffering from psychological disorders since 2011," said Yasser Mosbeh, the spokesman of the ministry.

The two Germans, accompanied by the father, were attacked in a craft tourist area in Nabeul's city center, according to the ministry.

The injured daughter, 27, is still under medical care while her mother has been discharged from hospital, local media reported.
