An Italian train has derailed in the central Swiss city of Lucerne with one carriage tipping over and injuring seven people on board.
The train from Milan in northern Italy to the north-western Swiss city of Basel derailed shortly before 2pm as it was pulling out of Lucerne's main train station, Swiss railway company SBB said.
The Trenitalia train's fourth carriage tipped over and a power line was interrupted. There were 160 passengers aboard at the time.
Toni Haene, the head of passenger rail services at SBB, said seven people suffered minor injuries.
The evacuation of the train was delayed due to safety concerns until the severed power line was switched off.
SBB said that train service to and from the station was suspended at least for the rest of the day.
There was no immediate word on the cause of the derailment.
