Five Injured As Man Wielding A Chainsaw Goes On The Rampage In Swiss Town

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.
