Swiss chainsaw manhunt ends as suspect arrested

-

Swiss police have arrested a 50-yearold man a day after he stormed into an insurance office wielding a chainsaw and wounded two staff members, bringing an end to a two-day manhunt that had also involved German police.

Zurich cantonal police said in a statement that they had arrested the suspect in Thalwil, a town about 37 miles from where the incident took place. Police identified him as Franz Wrousis, a drifter with a criminal record who lived mostly in the woods.
