The FBI said on Wednesday it was investigating the stabbing of a police officer at the Bishop International Airport in Flint, Michigan in the US as an "act of terrorism."
The suspect, identified as a Canadian resident in his 50s named Amor Ftouhi, was in custody, FBI special agent David Gelios told media.
According to Gelios, Ftouhi yelled "Allahu Akbar," or "Allah is the greatest," before attacking the officer with a 30-centimeter knife at the airport.
Ftouhi was believed to have acted alone at this stage, said Gelios.
