Residents reported to the Schaffhausen police late Saturday night that in the Emmersberg district, bottles containing stinking liquid were broken, as it is called in a message from Sunday. Specialists from the fire brigade and the laboratory of Interkantonale determined, after investigation, that it was acid

The exact composition of the acid used should still be clarified. It could be butyric acid, but official confirmation is pending. Who and who is behind the attack, was initially unknown, according to the Schaffhausen police; she's looking for witnesses.

One thing is certain: it was not a rascal. Matthias Bänzinger, head of operations, is convinced, as he tells TELE TOP: "We assume that it is a deliberate act. If you are dealing with acid, this is not a joker, you need some experience. Ordinary people generally have little access to these acids. They are used, among others, in chemistry. "

The affected family, who suffered an acid attack at home, is doing well, depending on the circumstances," says Bänzinger: "They suffer no health damage. However, they could not spend the night in their house.

During the firefighters operation, Säntisstrasse, where the affected house is located, was temporarily closed and residents were asked to stay in their homes. In the meantime, however, there is no danger, according to the police. Only with olfactory nuisances still need to be provided.
