Switzerland: A teenager has been arrested after several people were wounded in an axe attack at a petrol station in northeastern Switzerland. The teen, a 17-year-old from Latvia, allegedly assaulted an unknown number of people at the service station and then at another location in Flums before he
was arrested, local police say. It's unclear how many people were hurt but police say the teen had acted alone and there is no indication he has ties to any extremist groups.
