Four stabbed by knifeman shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ at Switzerland train station in front of terrified children

Four people were stabbed by a knifeman who shouted “Allahu Akbar” multiple times as he launched an attack in front of a group of school children at a Swiss train station on Thursday morning.

The armed attacker, described as a middle-aged man, stabbed four men across three locations at the Winterthur train station outside of Zurich, according to the Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeiger.

Eyewitnesses said a group of school children had passed the knife-wielding man, as the teacher stepped in to protect the defenseless minors.

“He had a knife in his hand,” a witness told Blick. “Everyone was screaming and running away.”
