Jogger Killed by Naked Attacker in Swiss Park
A tragic incident occurred in Mannedorf, near Zurich, Switzerland, where a jogger was killed by a naked man who attacked multiple people in Alma Park. The cantonal police announced that the suspect, a 19-year-old Swiss man, was quickly arrested at the scene. This disturbing event unfolded on Tuesday evening, with passers-by reporting the presence of the naked man shouting and physically attacking other individuals.
The emergency services promptly arrived but, despite their immediate resuscitation efforts, the seriously injured woman succumbed to her wounds.
