DEVELOPING: At least four people were injured Tuesday morning when a knife-wielding man attacked people indiscriminately at a commuter rail station outside Munich, Germany.

Investigators told the Suddeutsche Zeiting newspaper that witnesses had reported that the unidentified attacker had shouted "Allahu Akbar!", the Arabic phrase meaning "God is Great!" during the assault. However, authorities said they had not yet confirmed those witness statements.

The incident happened in Grafing, east of Munich, shortly before 5 a.m. (11 p.m. ET Monday). Police spokeswoman Michaela Grob told the Associated Press a man was arrested and authorities are working to identify him.

The Suddeutsche Zeitung reported that the victims were all men, one of whom was seriously hurt. The main entrance to the station was closed while the investigation was ongoing and significant delays were expected.

The broadcaster Bayerische Rundfunk reported that the suspect had no prior criminal history. Munich's Merkur newspaper reported that the suspect was from an immigrant background.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Bavarian media: One dead after stabbing near Munich

Regional media are reporting that a knife attack has left one person dead and three injured near Munich. Police are investigating claims that the suspect yelled 'Allahu Akbar' during the attack.

Regional broadcaster Bayrischer Rundfunk (BR) is reporting that a knife attack at a train station outside of Munich in the early hours of Tuesday morning has claimed the life of one victim. Three additional people were injured.

BR reports that a young German man with no previous police record attacked passengers at an S-Bahn overground train station in Grafing, a town east of Munich. The attack occurred around 5 a.m. local time.

Police are investigating witness statements that the man yelled "Allahu Akbar" – an Islamic saying meaning 'Allah is great' – before carrying out the attack. There are conflicting reports regarding what, if anything, the assailant said.

The suspect was overpowered by police and is now in custody.

Man 'shouted "Allahu Akbar" as he knifed Munich rail passengers', killing one

A man knifed passengers at a train station in the Munich area early on Tuesday, killing one man and injuring three, media reported, and police said they were investigating whether there was an Islamist motive to the attack.

A spokeswoman said police were checking witness statements that the man shouted "Allahu Akbar" ('God is Greatest' in Arabic) during the attack, adding that the perpetrator had been arrested.

Germany's ARD broadcaster reported that one man had died from his injuries. Police could not confirm this.

The attack took place in the S-Bahn commuter train station at Grafing, a town about 32 km (20 miles) southeast of the Bavarian capital in southern Germany.

Germany, which is playing a supporting role in the fight against Islamic State, has not suffered a major attack by Islamist militants on the scale of those that have hit neighbouring France and Belgium.

However, German security services are on alert and ministers have repeatedly warned of a possible attack.

Over 800 home-grown radicals have left Germany to join jihadist groups in Syria and Iraq and about 260 have returned.

Germany has also been a transit country for militants who carried out attacks in Belgium this year and Paris last year. There are concerns that some of the 1 million migrants who arrived in the country last year have slipped off officials' radar.

Knife attacker kills one at Munich train station

MUNICH | By Joern Poltz


A German national stabbed four passengers at a train station near Munich early on Tuesday, killing one man and injuring three, in an attack police said appeared to have an Islamist motive.

Witnesses said the assailant, a 27-year-old man, shouted "Allahu Akbar" ('God is Greatest' in Arabic), according to police.

"The perpetrator made remarks during the attack which point to there being a political motive," Bavarian police said in a statement, adding he had been arrested and there were no further suspects.

A 50-year-old died of stab wounds in hospital shortly after the attack. The other stabbed men, aged between 43 and 58, sustained lighter injuries, police said.

Well, at least they are acknowledging that Muslim IS a political movement! They could be claiming he did the killings "in the grip of religious ecstacy" as he "cried out to his god".

Has the pathetic mouse Merkel apologized yet?
Perhaps he needs some company so more Muslim terrorists should be allowed in to breed German girls.
How about a comic book instructing Moslems not to kill people?
Condolences for the families of the victims, contempt for the German Government.,
