Zurich police have arrested three people following a paint attack on the Turkish consulate. They are two Swiss nationals aged 18 and 20, and an 18-year-old woman from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Shortly after 10pm, a Zurich police patrol stationed near the Turkish consulate in District 6 noticed a group of around 20 people, some of whom were masked. They threw several bottles filled with paint at the building’s façade.
