Authorities in Switzerland say a knife-wielding attacker injured three people at a railway station Thursday morning before law enforcement took him into custody.
The incident occurred just after 8:30 a.m. at the station in Winterthur, according to a statement from Zurich regional police. Officials report the suspect is a 31-year-old Swiss citizen, though investigators have not yet determined what motivated the attack.
Emergency responders transported the three injured individuals to area hospitals. The victims, all Swiss nationals aged 28, 43, and 52, sustained wounds of undisclosed severity.
Winterthur, home to approximately 123,000 people, sits in northeastern Switzerland close to Zurich, the nation’s largest metropolitan area.
