Police find Swiss chainsaw suspect international manhunt

The capture brings an end to a two-day manhunt that had also involved German police.

Zurich cantonal place said in a statement that they had arrested the suspect in Thalwil, a town about 37 miles (60km) from Schaffhausen, where the incident took place.

Police identified the suspect as Franz Wrousis, a drifter with a criminal record who mostly lived in the woods.

It was not clear what may have prompted the man to assault the two office workers, one of whom was badly hurt.

CSS, whose office Wrousis stormed, said he was a client.

Two other customers in the office were treated for shock, while a fifth person was hurt during the police response, the authorities said.

Officials issued an international arrest warrant for the suspect as the police carried out the search.

A spokeswoman for German federal police had said earlier that one of their helicopters was being used in the area as part of the manhunt.

CSS offices in Schaffhausen, a quiet medieval town of 36,000 residents, and in other parts of the region remained closed on Tuesday while the manhunt continued, a company spokeswoman said.
