Man kills one,injures three after random attack on passengers at train station in Germany

One passenger was killed and three others and seriously injured after a knife-weilding man yelling “God is Great” in Arabic attacked them at a Grafing commuter train station in Germany this morning.

The attacker, aged 27, is said to be a young German man and not an asylum seeker. 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.

Germany has lost hundreds of young men who left the country to join the ranks of ISIS in Iraq and Syria. The country's intelligence agencies have warned in recent months of the need for increasing vigilance as terrorists plot to export Parisian-style terror to Germany.
