Chainsaw attacker wounds five in Swiss town, police launch manhunt

SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland (Reuters) - A man armed with a chainsaw wounded at least five people, two of them seriously, on Monday in a small Swiss town that was then put into lockdown as police hunted for the suspect.

 

Police said the attack was "not an act of terror". They said they had identified the attacker, but did not name him, describing him in a statement appealing for help from the public as bald, unkempt and around 190 cm (six feet three inches) tall.

 

The attack happened inside an office building on a shopping street in the centre of Schaffhausen, a medieval town of 36,000 inhabitants on the German border, police said.

 

Police cordoned off the area and ordered people to leave, Swiss newspaper Blick said. Witnesses saw bleeding victims being treated by rescue crews, it reported.

Helicopter ambulances were on the scene.

Medieval town? That's an inappropriate adjective. It's an old city or town, yes, but medieval it definitely isn't. Schaffhausen is just as modern and progressive as the rest of Switzerland. Yes, I know the person who wrote this report probably meant a town established and built centuries ago but it's still wrong to say medieval.

Or perhaps he wanted the gold back the Nazis robbed off his family and sold to the Swiss?

Interesting comment that could corroborate my initial post!.....However you are aware that under the asset settlement with the jews, the Swiss banks made a massive payoff years back?

Indeedy.

 

Now, I wonder how much got paid back and how much didn't?
