A stabbing attack at a railway station in Switzerland has left three people injured, with British tourists among those being warned to stay alert. Sources confirm the incident unfolded at around 8pm local time at the central station in the city of Lugano. Emergency services rushed to the scene after reports of a man wielding a knife and attacking passengers waiting on the platform.
The victims, two men and one woman, were treated for stab wounds and taken to hospital. Their conditions are not yet known but are described as serious but stable. Swiss police say they have arrested a suspect, a 28-year-old male of Swiss nationality.
No immediate motive has been established. The British Foreign Office has issued a statement urging British nationals in the area to avoid the vicinity of the station and follow local police advice. The attack comes amid heightened tensions across Europe, but authorities stress there is no evidence of terrorism.
My sources within the Swiss Federal Police indicate they are investigating all possibilities. The station has been cordoned off and services disrupted. This is a developing story and I will bring you more details as they emerge.
