A man injured three people in a knife attack at a train station in Winterthur, northern Switzerland, near Zurich. The suspected perpetrator was arrested by police shortly after the incident, local authorities said.
According to authorities, the attack occurred shortly after 6:30 a.m. (local time). The suspect, a 31-year-old Swiss national, was arrested at the scene. The three victims were taken to the hospital for treatment; their condition was not immediately specified.
Reports from Swiss media outlets, including Blick, indicate that a video circulating after the attack shows a man running out of the train station hall shouting "Allahu Akbar," an Arabic expression meaning "God is great." A witness quoted by the newspaper also claims that the man was holding a knife, while passersby panicked and fled.
Police stated that the suspect's motives remain unknown and are under investigation. Authorities have not confirmed the details reported by witnesses or the images circulated by the press.
The incident prompted a major police deployment around the train station and its surroundings while the area was secured and the victims were treated. The investigation is ongoing to determine the exact circumstances of the attack and the intentions of the suspected perpetrator.
