Swiss police have apprehended a 28-year-old Australian man, suspected of stabbing and seriously injuring a 41-year-old man in a store in central Zurich, authorities confirmed.
The motive behind the attack, which took place on Saturday, remains under investigation, according to a police statement. The Australian was arrested at the scene, while the victim was taken to hospital for treatment.
Authorities have withheld further details regarding the identities of both the victim and the suspect. A police spokesperson indicated that prosecutors may release additional information on Monday.
The incident adds to a growing concern over stabbing incidents across Europe, following a deadly knife attack in Mulhouse, France, where an Algerian man was arrested on Saturday. A Syrian refugee was also detained in connection with a stabbing at Berlin’s Holocaust memorial.
On Thursday, a teenager fatally stabbed two women in a shopping centre in the Czech city of Hradec Kralove. Additionally, a Syrian asylum seeker was arrested in southern Austria last Saturday, suspected of a stabbing spree.
