The assailant was described as a 33-year-old Yemeni resident.
The incident occurred at King Abdullah Park in central Riyadh, one of several venues hosting a two-month long entertainment festival as part of government efforts to open up Saudi society and diversify its economy away from oil.
SPA said the victims, two men and a woman, sustained “superficial wounds” and were stabilized after receiving medical care.
