In Switzerland:

A man was arrested after injuring three people ​in a knife attack at ‌a train station in the Swiss city of Winterthur near Zurich, local ​police said on Thursday.

Police ​said the attack happened shortly after ⁠0630 GMT and the ​suspected perpetrator 31-year-old Swiss national was ​arrested. The three victims of the attack were receiving hospital care, according to ​the police statement.

Swiss newspaper ​Blick said it had obtained a video ‌showing ⁠a man running out of the station concourse shouting “Allahu Akbar”, an Arabic phrase meaning God is ​great.

The paper ​cited ⁠an eyewitness as saying the man held a ​knife, while people around ​him ⁠were screaming and running away. The incident prompted a major police ⁠operation, ​it added.

Police said ​the man’s motive was being investigated.

Yes, it’s baffling.

Attack at a train station in Winterthur, Switzerland.

Man stabs three people with a knife.

Shouts "Allahu Akbar"

And is described only as a "Swiss National"…

Because Swiss people have a long history of shouting Allahu Akbar as they randomly stab people at train stations.
