Six people were injured in an attack aboard a Swiss train yesterday by a man armed with a knife and flammable fluid, police said.
Three adults, two teenagers and a child aged six were hurt, according to a police statement. Five were stabbed or burnt. A sixth suffered smoke inhalation as he came to the aid of the others.
The assailant, a Swiss citizen, was also injured.
Authorities did not yet know the motive for the attacks but a crime of passion was one possibility, Bruno Metzger of the St Gallen cantonal police said in an interview.
“A terrorism background still seems very, very far-fetched,” Metzger said.
The assailant was in police custody, he said.
Both a woman and the attacker were in critical condition, according to Swiss broadcaster SRF, citing the St Gallen police.
The attack occurred as the train neared the Salez station on a trip between Buchs and Sennwald in St Gallen, a canton in the northeast of the Alpine republic, a police statement said.
