3 children injured in knife attack at Zurich daycare centre
A knife attack at a daycare centre in Zurich has left three children injured, one of them seriously. A 23-year-old man reportedly attacked a group of children as they were being escorted to the daycare by a staff member—fortunately, a daycare worker and a bystander managed to subdue the attacker before the police arrived.
The most seriously injured is a five-year-old boy, who is currently receiving treatment in the hospital, while two other boys of the same age sustained minor injuries. The motive behind the attack remains unclear as police continue their investigation. The incident took place near the Bernina shopping centre in Zurich’s Oerlikon district, with heavily armed officers and drones securing the area in the aftermath.
Local reports suggest authorities have searched a nearby residential building, though any connection to the attack is yet to be confirmed.
