A knife attack at a Swiss train station that left three people injured was an act of terrorism, police said yesterday, after arresting a suspect who had previously been reported for spreading Islamic State propaganda.
Police said they had arrested the alleged perpetrator, a 31-year-old dual Swiss-Turkish national, from Winterthur, a city to the north of Zurich.
The attack took place at around 0630 GMT.
Mario Fehr, security director for the canton of Zurich, described the attack as “a vile terrorist act which I believe was handled very well by the police, who were able to prevent something even worse from happening.”
