Youth attacks train commuters with an axe - leaves more than 20 injured, some seriously

A 17-year-old youth described as an Afghan refugee attacked passengers in a German commuter train with an axe and injured more than 20 people before being shot and killed by police. Three of the victims sustained serious injuries before the assailant fled from the scene. He was later confronted by police officers in the southern German province of Bavaria.
The youth is believed to be a Muslim because he had shouted "Allahu Akhbar" (Arabic for 'God is great') before he was shot dead.
This has been reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 19 July 2016.

The attacker had arrived in Germany as an unaccompanied refugee and was living in a Wuerzburg suburb. The authorities feel he had acted alone but it was too early to term it as an act of terrorism. The attack took pace in the backdrop of possible terrorist attacks, coming four days after 84 people were killed in an apparent jihadist-inspired attack in Nice, in the French Riviera.
The incident took place on a commuter line that runs from Treuchtlingen to Wuerzburg in Bavaria province. The youth hacked and slashed at some of the train's 20 passengers, injuring at least four of them.
