A chainsaw-wielding attacker injured five people -- two seriously -- at an office building in Switzerland Monday morning, leading Swiss police on a manhunt to find the suspect.

Police sealed off the area in Schaffhausen after receiving a report of an attack about 10:40 a.m. local time. A shop owner in the area told local news site Blick a man with a chainsaw was walking through the streets terrorizing shoppers.

Police said the attack "is not a terrorist act," but warned residents to avoid the suburban town as they search for the attacker who fled the scene after the incident.

Police spokeswoman Cindy Beer told SRF television that authorities "can't say exactly what happened at this point."

wonder if it was a Sthil or a Husky?

If it was a Stihl, half the potential victims would have already escaped after the 6-7th pull to get it started.....

A foot in the door might be, no saws under 16", only three extra chains, smaller gas tanks.

How did they determine it wasn't terrorism?

Stihl's built-in exercise guarantee-

If you can start this chainsaw with less than 10 pulls, we'll give you another saw of equal or lesser value for free.

The offender is a crazy hermit living in the woods nearby. I will be there next week, I'm not too concerned. This dude would be easy to outrun!
