A knife attack by a man wounded three people at a Swiss train station on Thursday was a "terrorist act", a regional security official said.

"I am exceptionally calling this a terrorist attack," Mario Fehr, in charge of security in the Swiss canton of Zurich, told reporters, while police commander Marius Weyermann said it was "clear from the scene that the motive for this act must be sought in the realm of radicalisation and extremism".
