A cleaning worker walks on a platform after a 27-year-old Swiss man's attack on a Swiss train (back) at the railway station in the town of Salez, Switzerland. The assailant, a Swiss citizen, was also injured. Both a woman and the attacker were in critical condition, according to Swiss broadcaster SRF, citing the St Gallen police. The attack occurred at 2.20pm (local time) as the train neared the Salez station on a trip between Buchs and Sennwald in St. Gallen, a canton in the northeast of the Alpine republic, the police statement said. It was the first attack of its kind in Switzerland in recent memory.
