Two boys and one girl attacked in knife attack on the way to kindergarten in Zurich.
On Tuesday morning, three young children were hospitalized with a knife injury while en route to kindergarten in Zurich, Switzerland. The assault occurred at mid-morning within the Oerlikon district of the city as reported by the police authorities.
The victims include five boys all aged five years and were in the company of a worker from the kindergarten when attacked. The first of the children was badly injured and one of the others was injured but not as badly. All of them were brought to a nearby hospital for a similar reason with the three of them requiring urgent attention.
The police have detained a suspect a 23-year-old Chinese national in connection with the attack. It is still unclear for the police to reveal any evidence of the motive which led to this horrifying attack.
According to the eye-witnesses, the man who committed the act was subsequently subdued by the other worker of the kindergarten, with the assistance of another man before the police arrived at the scene to thwart any other heinous act of the attacker.
The police in Switzerland are still looking for the motives for this violent action that has left a community in shock.
