A man
screaming 'Allahu Akbar' killed one passenger and seriously injured
three more after knifing them at a commuter train station in Germany on
this morning.
The attacker, aged 27, is said to be a young German man and not an asylum seeker as earlier media reports suggested.
The male victim died after the random attack at Grafing station not far from Munich earlier this morning.
He first
knifed a newspaper seller in the back, shortly before 5am. He then
struck out at three more victims before running away.
He
was caught a few feet from the station entrance and is now in custody
after being overpowered at the scene. Of the three surviving victims,
one is said to be seriously hurt.

A
prosecutor's spokesman said: 'The assailant made remarks at the scene of
the crime that indicate a political motivation - apparently an Islamist
motive.
'We are still determining what the exact remarks were.'
Bavarian Radio broadcast that the knifeman was a 'young German not previously known to police.'
