A woman, suspected of being in a serious mental state, stabbed her baby and family members with a knife on Wednesday morning in Suhr, Aargau. According to police, the baby and two adults suffered serious injuries, albinfo.ch reports.
Media outlets such as TeleZüri report that it is a family from North Macedonia.
The Aargau cantonal police confirmed to the emergency call center shortly before 6:00 a.m. that they had received a vague report of injured people, sda.ch reports. Police and paramedics found three injured adults and an injured baby in the private residence in Suhr, near Aarau.
A rescue helicopter airlifted the child to the hospital while ambulances transported the adults. According to police, the baby and two adults suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries. The third person suffered minor injuries.
Initial investigations suggest that the 37-year-old woman, suspected of being in a serious mental state, attacked one of her children and family members with a knife, albinfo.ch reports. She then apparently injured herself.
The exact circumstances of the incident are still unclear. The cantonal police have launched an investigation, and the Lenzburg-Aarau public prosecutor's office has opened a criminal investigation. The suspected perpetrator is also in hospital.
