by VOA News

   A man armed with a chainsaw injured five people in the Swiss town of
   Schaffhausen Monday, police said.

   "For now, there are five people injured ... two seriously and three
   lightly," Schaffhausen police spokeswoman Cindy Beer said in a video
   clip posted on the Blick news site.

   The police said they have identified the suspect, who is on the run,
   and have released a description of him. They added that this was "not a
   terrorist act".

   The area has been sealed and local shops shut down, according to
   multiple media outlets.
