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.
