The man who attacked passengers on a crowded Swiss train with a knife and a burning liquid died of his wounds on Sunday, as did one of his victims, Swiss police said. Three others remained in critical condition.
Police are still searching for a motive but said there's no indication the suspect, identified only as a 27-year-old Swiss man from a neighboring region, had ties to extremist groups.
The three people in critical condition include a 6-year-old child, and their wounds are considered life-threatening, St. Gallen canton (state) police spokesman Hans-Peter Kruesi told The Associated Press.
