Multiple injuries have been reported on a train near Würzburg after a man went on a stabbing rampage. According to Bavaria's Interior Ministry, the suspect has been shot dead by police.
A police operation is underway in the German town of Heidingsfeld, part of the southern city of Würzburg, after a man launched an attack on a passenger train at around 9.15pm local time (1915 UTC) on Monday.
According to Bavaria's Interior Ministry, a 17-year-old Afghan shouted "Allahu Akbar" before launching the attack using a knife and axe. The suspect was shot dead by police as he attempted to flee the scene.
Three people were seriously injured and a fourth suffered light injuries. Another 14 people were reportedly held up in the train.
Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Hermann said the possibility of life-threatening injuries couldn't be ruled out.
The train route between Ochsenfurt and Würzburg has been closed.

Latest reports are the little POS is dead.
Obviously, the perp’s name was Mohammed (whatever).............
Thanks, Merkel!
Already saying he worked alone. Lone wolf. Nothing to see here. Not Islam. ISIS is on the run.
Yeah, let’s invite in more of those peaceful muslims.......

Saw the breaking news on BBC just a few minutes ago. No hint of identity, unlike the Daily Mail:
Thanks Chancellor Merkel for the latest self-inflicted wound on your nation.
Just showing his gratitude for being granted asylum + welfare benefits.
Buuuuut... No relationship to islam, of course.
“Allahu Akbar”
Allah is Greatest
Submit or die
If only the Germans, unlike Trump, were as welcoming to immigrants as . . .
Wait, they were welcoming? It’s not Trump’s fault?
Well, gosh, then what possible reason to kill people?
Dang it! I searched Germany, not German.
AM, please lock.
Merkel’s fault - 17 yr old Afghani male.
and yet Merkel still gets votes and support!
They’re like the Chinese in Korean war.
They have plenty to dispose of and dont care.
Uncle was there for the Chinese surge.
Said all he saw was mounds of chinamen coming from the hills.
Motivation unknown.
Too early to determine if this was a terrorist attack.
Axe is being held for questioning.
“14 people were reportedly held up”
Meaning what?
Robbed at knife point?
Now we all must show concern for this Afghans cultural history. It is very possible that smacking each other around with an axe, while shouting Allah Akbar, is a normal cultural tradition.
“...very possible...” Heck...it is likely.
No problem. Happens to be all the time.
The other thread has been going for a while and some good comments on it.
