A 31-year-old Swiss man was arrested after allegedly attacking three people with a knife at the train station in Winterthur, located in northeastern Switzerland, on Thursday. According to the Zurich Cantonal Police, the incident occurred shortly after 8:30 AM.
The three victims, identified as Swiss citizens aged 28, 43, and 52, were all taken to local hospitals for treatment. Police have not yet announced the motive behind the attack, stating that it remains a subject of ongoing investigation.
In the initial hours following the attack, the station area was extensively cordoned off. While the police have maintained silence regarding the motive, several Swiss media outlets later reported that witnesses claimed the assailant shouted “Allahu Akbar” during the attack, though official confirmation of this claim has not been released.
