Six people were injured in an attack aboard a Swiss train on Saturday by a man armed with a knife and flammable fluid, St Gallen cantonal police said.

Three adults, two teenagers and a child aged six were hurt, according to a police statement. Five were stabbed or burned. A sixth suffered smoke inhalation as he came to the aid of the others. The assailant, a Swiss citizen, was also injured.
Authorities did not yet know the motive for the attacks but a crime of passion was one possibility, Bruno Metzger of the St Gallen cantonal police said in an interview with welt.de.

"A terrorism background still seems very, very far-fetched," Metzger said.

The assailant was in police custody, he said, but none of those injured - including the assailant - was responsive, so they could not be questioned.

The police said a criminal inquiry was under way...

Swiss train attacker's Liechtenstein home searched: Police
GENEVA: Local officials have searched the Lichtenstein home of a man who started a fire on a Swiss train and stabbed passengers this weekend, police said on Monday (Aug 15).

Police had already searched the official residence of the 27-year-old Swiss national in eastern Switzerland on Saturday, hours after the attack.

But on Monday Swiss police said he also had a home in the tiny principality of Liechtenstein...

"The police were there for several hours and took pictures," the paper quoted one Liechtenstein resident as saying after the search.

Neighbours described the attacker as a "loner", who was tall, thin and lanky, with glasses, the paper said.

"He was a quiet, friendly guy, but I have a feeling he had problems with himself," Blick quoted one acquaintance as saying.

"You could tell he had been teased his whole life," he added, saying the man "had no friends. He was often alone ... He never answered when you said hello...
