Five injured as man a chainsaw wielding man goes on the rampage in Swiss town injures 5
Police are hunting for a man who went on a chainsaw rampage that left five people injured in a Swiss town.
The man broke into offices belonging to insurance firm CSS-Krankenkasse in the town of Schaffhausen then targeted employees. Two of those attacked were badly wounded such that they required surgery. Police have released a photo of the alleged attacker who is still on the loose. They warned people to take shelter in their homes as they search for the suspect. Some people had to leave their homes and shops as police began locking down entire streets to capture the attacker. A helicopter circled overhead as police reinforcements poured in.
Cindy Beer, spokesman for the local police, confirmed the casualties and said a manhunt is ongoing to capture the attacker. She said police were called at 10.39 a.m. but was unable to confirm if the man was armed with a chainsaw.
No one is certain of his reason for attacking the insurance company but there are speculations that the man was a customer who was refused pay-out for certain procedures under the terms of his policy.
