Police have said they do not believe the attack is terrorism related...
The attack happened after 10:30 a.m. local time (4:30 a.m. ET) in the historic town of Schaffhausen near the country’s northern border with Germany.
Police described the attacker as around 190 centimeters tall (6 ft 2 in) and of an “untidy appearance.”
Images of the scene on social media show a cobble-stoned street cordoned off, with police vehicles and ambulances in the area.
A journalist in Schaffhausen, Marco Latzer, told CNN that helicopters were also responding at the scene.

Untidy enough to spend most days in mosques..?
If people were terrorized, it's terrorism.

Indeed Swiss Chainsaw Massacre is a double take thought
Time for an international chainsaw registry overseen by the UN Security Council.
All that pollution from the two-stroke engine, an Eco friendly madman would have uses an electric chainsaw.
Eighteen people were injured, three seriously, when a bachelor party turned into a nightmare in Wohlen in the canton of Aargau on Saturday.
The 17 partygoers were travelling on a trailer pulled by a tractor driven by another person, said Aargau police.At around 7pm, as the vehicle went down a steep slope, the heavy trailer pushed the tractor forward and the driver, despite braking, lost control.
Both the tractor and the trailer tipped over, injuring all 18.
Sounds like a hell of a bachelor party. What is going on with the normally staid Swiss?
And when they catch him and it happens his name is Mohamad, that piece of information, if it is printed at all, will be published in small print or below the fold.

MALCOLM: The kids okay?
GRANT: Well, I didn't ask. Why wouldn't they be?
MALCOLM: Kids get scared.
GRANT: What's to be scared about? It's just a little hiccup in the power.
MALCOLM: I didn't say I was scared.
GRANT: I didn't say you were scared.
MALCOLM: I know.
GRANT: Fine.
Somehow, if one substitutes "terrorism" in there somehow, as in:
PUBLIC: Is it terrorism?
POLICE: Well, we don't know. Why would it be?
PUBLIC: People think these things are terrorism.
POLICE: What's to think it is terrorism for? It's just a little chainsaw action in the street.
PUBLIC: I didn't say it WAS terrorism.
POLICE: I didn't say you were saying it was terrorism.
PUBLIC: I know.
PUBLIC: Fine.
Could you imagine hearing that on Adam 12 .... One Adam 12 one Adam 12 “man in long robe with scraggly beard attacking people with chain saw”
He looks a bit like a hobbit, and he lives in the woods...but it says he’s bald now, and I don’t believe I’ve seen any bald hobbits.
The baldness is a little weird because that’s what jihadis do, but this guy just sounds like he’s a mental case.
Good Lord, it’s Gnome!
He sure looks like a happy camper in those pictures!
