It was meant to be a normal Monday morning commute, but chaos broke out at Winterthur train station when a man pulled out a blade.
Three people were injured in a stabbing at Winterthur train station in Switzerland, and police have arrested a 31 year old Swiss man in connection with the attack, according to cbinews.tv.
The victims, all Swiss nationals aged 28, 43 and 52, were taken to hospital after the incident. Police confirmed the suspect used a bladed weapon and said the motive is still under investigation.
An eyewitness who works in a nearby office building told a local newspaper he heard a man yell "Allahu Akbar", meaning "God is greatest" in Arabic, at around 08:30 local time before attacking people with a knife.
Local media report that a group of schoolchildren were passing through the area at the time. A teacher was seen standing in front of them to protect them.
Another eyewitness, a taxi driver, told the Zurich based daily Neue Zürcher Zeitung that a man had been walking around the station's underpass attacking people.
Photos published by Swiss news outlets show several areas around the station cordoned off by police.
