Six people have been injured after a man set a train carriage on fire in Switzerland and stabbed several passengers, police say.

A six-year-old child is among those who were hurt as the train travelled between Buchs and Sennwald at 2:20pm local time.
In a statement, St Gallen Police added: "According to current information a 27-year-old Swiss man poured out a flammable liquid. He was also armed with at least one knife. The liquid caught fire."
