&nbsp;A man armed with a chainsaw wounded at least five people, two of them seriously, on Monday in a small Swiss town that was then put into lockdown as police hunted for the suspect.
Police said the attack was &ldquo;not an act of terror&rdquo;. They said they had identified the attacker, but did not name him, describing him in a statement appealing for help from the public as bald, unkempt and around six feet three inches tall.
The attack happened inside an office building on a shopping street in the centre of Schaffhausen, a medieval town of 36,000 inhabitants on the German border, police said. Police cordoned off the area and ordered people to leave.
Witnesses saw bleeding victims being treated by rescue crews. Helicopter ambulances were on the scene.
