In which the religion of peace comes peacefully to the Zurich train station:
Three people have been stabbed in Switzerland after a knife-wielding man unleashed a violent attack in a train station.
The incident at the Winterthur railway station on Thursday was confirmed by Zurich cantonal police, who said that the man, a 31-year-old Swiss national, was arrested at the scene after he wounded three people with a bladed weapon.
Footage from the scene showed the alleged knifeman running past a group of terrified young school children as their teacher tried to shield them.
One person was seriously injured, and two others sustained moderate injuries and were hospitalised, Blick reports. The injured are all Swiss citizens aged 28, 43, and 52.
The motive for the attack is currently unclear, and the police are investigating all possible leads.
Multiple witnesses claimed that the knifeman shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ as he unleashed his violent rampage, according to local media.
The thing about “nationals” these days is that it’s nothing more than a reference to paperwork now, as can be seen with the current makeup of the “national” teams at the World Cup. Of course, it could just be an unhinged convert, as far too many of the post-WWII Swiss have abandoned the Christianity of their ancestors.
Anyhow, it’s a timely reminder for the Swiss that unlike other peoples, they have the ability to vote to limit their population in the upcoming national referendum.
