Injuries and Victims
One victim suffered serious injuries, while the other two were described as being in a moderate condition. All three are Swiss citizens, aged 28, 43, and 52. They received medical attention at the scene and were subsequently transported to nearby hospitals.
Arrest of Suspect
A 31-year-old Swiss national was arrested after attempting to flee the scene. Police launched a major operation to apprehend the suspect, who was taken into custody without further incident. Authorities are currently working to identify a motive for the attack.
Eyewitness Accounts
Swiss newspaper Blick obtained video footage showing a man shouting 'Allahu Akbar' while running from the station concourse. Police have not yet confirmed whether this is related to the attack or if it is a separate incident.
