ATHENS, Greece — Greek authorities say a 12-year-old Russian boy vacationing on the island of Crete who was found stabbed multiple times was airlifted to Athens for treatment of serious injuries.
Police have detained a 20-year-old Dutch man who was employed at the child's hotel.
A Crete police official said the child had been on vacation with his family, staying at a hotel where employees were running activities for children Tuesday afternoon. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity pending an official announcement, said initial information indicated that the boy reported his laptop and mobile phone missing after the session.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
