Police are searching for a male suspect who injured five people, two seriously, in a chainsaw attack in the Swiss town of Schaffhausen.
The attack - which the authorities stated was not terror-related - was reported to the police a little after 10:30 in the morning. The suspect entered the local branch of the CSS insurance company where he deliberately attacked staff members, according to a company spokeswoman. She said two staff members were among the injured.
According to the police, the 47-year-old man is believed to be bald, around 190cm tall with an unkempt appearance. He has no known fixed abode but is known to have stayed in wooded areas. Swiss Public Television SRF tweeted a series of past photos of the suspect.
Police found his vehicle, a white Volkwagen model Caddy with plates from the southeastern Swiss canton of Graubünden (GR), but the man remains at large. Authorities have warned that the suspect is dangerous but have not stated he is armed. He is still believed to be in possession of the chainsaw and was booked for two weapons-related offences in 2014 and 2016.
