5 hurt in Swiss chainsaw attack

Swiss police say five people have been hospitalized, two of them with serious injuries, following an apparent attack by a chainsaw-wielding man in the northern city of Schaffhausen. Authorities are searching for a man.

Local media said the man was running though the town with a chainsaw. However, police could not confirm this, as yet.

Police spokeswoman Cindy Beer says, “We can’t say exactly what happened at this point.”

“We just know that a person wounded several people,” she says. The man’s whereabouts are currently unknown.
