Suspected attacker named as Franz Wrousis, 51, a Swiss national

Schaffhausen, Switzerland (CNN) Police are searching for a chainsaw-wielding attacker who injured five people, including at least one seriously, in northern Switzerland. Police have said they do not believe Monday’s attack in the historic town of Schaffhausen is terrorism related, but warned the public that the man at large is “dangerous.”

Shauffhausen public prosecutor Peter Sticher said the attacker had been identified as 51-year-old Franz Wrousis, a Swiss national with no fixed address who lives in a forest. The attack began in an insurance office in the historic Swiss town of about 34,000 people near the German border. He added: “Nobody can leave the stores anymore.”

 Another shop owner said: “It’s weird that something like this happens in Schaffhausen.”

 Officers said they are dealing with a “special situation”.
