An axe-man who stormed a passenger train and hacked at terrified passengers while shouting "Allahu Akbar" has been identified as a 17-year-old Afghan who entered Germany as a lone refugee.
The attacker was identified by stunned government officials after a huge investigation was launched just hours after the bloody attack exploded.
The horror began at around 9mpm local time when the teenager stormed a train that was travelling close to Wurzburg in southern Germany.
He then shouted "Allahu Akbar" - which means God is greatest - before launching into the terrifying attack on innocent passengers and then attempting to flee.
News outlets in Germany have claimed the crazed attacker then suddenly turned and headed for police who then shot him dead.
Early reports claim he has left at least three people fighting for shock [sic] lives, and a fourth with minor injuries.
At least 14 other passengers were being treated for shock.
The attacker has been identified as a 17-year-old Afghan man who was a refugee to Germany, according to reports in Germany.
His motive has not yet been revealed, with police refusing to comment on whether or not it was a terrorist attack.
Notice it says motive not revealed!
