A woman attacked two customers with a knife in a department store in Lugano in the Swiss canton of Ticino on Tuesday afternoon.
The Federal Prosecutor's Office assumes a "suspected terrorist attack," as she wrote on Twitter.

The woman was taken to the hospital seriously injured.
According to the Corriere del Ticino, the attacker had stolen the knife from the household department.
The police are following up evidence that the woman has expressed sympathy for the IS terrorist militia, reported journalists from an evening press conference in Lugano.

According to the police, the alleged perpetrator is a 28-year-old Swiss woman.
It was said that she attacked the other women for reasons that were initially unclear.
