A significant police operation unfolded in Dielsdorf, Zurich, following a false alarm at a local secondary school.
On Friday afternoon, an amok alarm was mistakenly triggered, leading to a large-scale police presence, including special units and numerous police vehicles.
The situation, initially unclear, was later confirmed as a false alarm, with no threat to students or the public.
The incident is suspected to be linked to a TikTok challenge involving fake threats in school restrooms, prompting heightened security measures.
This trend has previously caused disruptions in other areas, with authorities warning against such pranks.
Despite the scare, normal school activities resumed, and the community expressed relief that no real danger occurred.
