Police arrest 54-year-old after threat in Meilen
According to Blick, the Zurich cantonal police deployed a large contingent to Meilen on Saturday morning. Fire brigade, police and ambulance services were on scene, with parts of the locality cordoned off and inaccessible from Feldmeilen.
The operation was triggered by a report that came in around 3 a.m.: a man had made a threat and was holed up in a flat. Family members who were present managed to leave the flat in time and were thus out of danger.
Several patrols from the Zurich cantonal police were immediately dispatched to the scene. A resident told 20 Minuten that she had observed various police cars and that pedestrian pathways had also been cordoned off.
Shortly before 9.30 a.m., the 54-year-old man was arrested without resistance. No one was injured.
