A 19-year-old man went after shoppers with a blade inside a mall in southern Russia’s Krasnodar city on Saturday.
One woman lost her life and five other people, including a security guard, suffered injuries.
Authorities say officers took the suspect into custody right away at the scene.
He now faces checks with psychiatric specialists while investigators look into the events.
Meanwhile, local reports note the man had moved to the area a few months earlier for work and had no prior record.
Officials continue to examine what led to the situation.
No further details on the condition of those hurt have come out yet.
The shopping centre area saw quick response from emergency teams after the reports came in.
People in the area shared accounts of the moments as the incident unfolded before the suspect was stopped.
