Officials provided additional information after an officer was stabbed in the neck by Amor Ftouhi, a 50-year-old Canadian man. The attack is being investigated as terrorism, the FBI said.

Ftouhi traveled nearly 500 miles to Flint after legally entering the United States in New York on June 16, agents said. It's unclear why he chose the Flint airport to carry out his attack.

Witnesses said Ftouhi yelled, "Allahu Akbar" during the stabbing and shouted "Allah" several times afterward.
