Cops are far more incapable of processing thoughts and information than autistic people. Who else wouldn't be able to see that this child is disabled, other than a cop? What other, valuable investigative skills does he bring to the table?

Although the incident was not at any point treated as a terrorist attack, a wide-ranging international manhunt was launched amid fears that Wrousis, who was reportedly living rough in the forest, could slip into Germany.

Later on Wednesday, law enforcement officials told a news conference that Wrousis had two loaded crossbows and two sharpened wooden slats in his possession when he was apprehended, but that he did not resist arrest. The chainsaw has not yet been found.

Police managed to track and arrest the suspect following numerous tip-offs from local residents, prosecutor Peter Sticher said, adding that the operation to catch Wrousis involved 50 to 100 officers.

Wrousis was already known to law enforcement for repeated weapons offenses, for which he was detained in 2014 and 2016. He was considered a threat to public safety while on the loose, and it was suspected that he could have been in possession of arms.

Details of Wrousis' detainment are still unknown, with police promising to reveal further details later on Wednesday. The man was described by those who saw him as being mentally unstable and aloof, living a reclusive way of life mostly in the woods. "This is a dangerous and aggressive man," said Ravi Landoldt, chief of security in Schaffhausen, as quoted by Deutsche Welle.

However, not everyone who knew the suspect considered him a threat. "He looked like a schizophrenic, but we didn't think that it would be that bad. We didn't see him as a threat or anything," a man by the name of Samuel told Reuters, adding that Wrousis did appear to be a "strange guy."

Although Wrousis' motives were not immediately clear, the Swiss health insurance company CSS, whose offices he raided, said he was a client.

More than 40 homes were evacuated "as a precaution." Gas supplies to nearby houses were switched off amid fears of an explosion after claims the suspect had deliberately cut a pipe.

Just before 5am local time on Wednesday morning police entered the property and escorted the woman, thought to be aged 27, out of the building unharmed.

A negotiator could be heard shouting "all we want is to get you and (the woman) out of there safely."

A 30-year-old man, thought to be her partner, was arrested on suspicion of making threats to kill and false imprisonment.

It has emerged that police were called to the house two hours before the stand-off began.

"Police received a report of a domestic violence incident on Pemberton Way shortly before 1am ... Officers attended the property and the incident was resolved, after a man had left the property."

It is understood that a neighbor had dialled 999 after they heard shouting.
