At least five people have been injured, two seriously, after a man attacked people with a chainsaw in the Swiss town of Schaffhausen.
Police said the perpetrator has been identified but remains at large after the attack, which prompted them to seal off the centre of the town on the German border.
A shop owner told Swiss newspaper Blick a man with a chainsaw was walking the streets and police later confirmed the report.
Police said the attack is not being treated as an act of terrorism.
Police official Ravi Landolt identified the suspected perpetrator as Franz Wrousis.
Prosecutor Peter Sticher said the man had no fixed address but previously had been registered himself as living in the southeastern Swiss canton (state) of Graubuenden.
Mr Landolt said Wrousis has two previous convictions, dating back to 2014 and 2016, for contraventions of weapons laws.
