A man suspected of attacking three individuals at a train station in Switzerland<\/a> on Thursday morning has been arrested, according to Zurich Cantonal Police.<\/p>\n

“About 30 meters away, I heard a man behind me shout ‘Allahu akbar’ five or six times, very emotionally and agitatedly,” one witness reportedly recalled to the outlet Blick<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Shortly after 8:30 a.m., a man injured three people with a bladed weapon at Winterthur train station. The suspected perpetrator was arrested by police. He is a 31-year-old Swiss national,” Zurich Cantonal Police<\/a> said. The three wounded Swiss nationals, ages 28, 43 and 52, were transported to the hospital, according to the release.<\/p>\n

The Associated Press<\/a> reported that the incident occurred shortly before 8:30 a.m. The suspect, who was arrested five minutes after emergency services were alerted, is a 31-year-old Swiss-Turkish dual national who lives in Winterthur, regional police chief Marius Weyermann said.<\/p>\n

The man had drawn authorities’ attention in 2015 for disseminating Islamic State propaganda, Weyermann noted, according to the AP. More recently, he was sent to a psychiatric facility after calling the police emergency number and delivering “confused comments,” but he departed on Wednesday after a doctor ruled he was not dangerous.<\/p>\n
