Terrorism fears stalked Europe again Tuesday morning after a man was killed and three more were injured in a pre-dawn knife attack at a rural German train station—by a barefoot man who officials initially believed had “an apparent Islamist motive.”
However, although the man reportedly uttered “Allahu akbar” as he launched his bloody attack, it was later established that the 27-year old perpetrator had drug and psychiatric issues, and a spokesman for Bavaria state's interior ministry said that "so far we have no evidence for Islamist motive".
"We have found the man had psychological and drug problems," Oliver Platzer told AFP.
The Telegraph reported that police have reportedly found traces of drugs in a container at the scene. The perpetrator He was undergoing treatment for his addiction, the paper said, quoting Holger Schmidt, a terrorism expert for Germany’s ARD television.
A spokesman for the Bavarian prosecutors’ office had earlier said the suspect “made remarks at the scene of the crime that indicate a political motive,” but added, “We are still determining what the exact remarks were.”
The attacker was barefoot, according to the Telegraph, and bloody footprints could be seen in pictures from the scene. The vicious attack took place shortly before 5 a.m. local time in Grafing, a rural area some 20 miles from Munich.
Sleepy Grafing station, the scene of the attack, is part of the Munich S-Bahn network of commuter trains.
“The idea that people get on the S-Bahn or deliver newspapers on a beautiful morning and then become victims of a maniac is terrible,” Angelika Obermayr, the local mayor, said. “I am most grateful to the police, doctors, paramedics and firefighters who arrived quickly on the scene.”
The dead man and those injured in the attack are believed to be men in their forties and fifties.

See, the poor migrant just had some mental issues. You white supremacists are always jumping to conclusions.

Nothing shall deter the German government in its condemnation of everything non-muslim.
He wasn’t an immigrant. He was a native born German meth head.
“Lets Not Jump to Conclusions.”
True. Usually my conclusions about Islam don’t jump but they do stab, behead, shoot, murder, pillage, enslave, rape, defile, desecrate, despoil, and oppress.
But yes, they don’t jump.
“Paul H.” doesn’t exactly sound like a Muzzie name. He’s a German citizen from Hessen. On the other hand, calling the victims ‘infidels’ suggests he may have converted.
