German Train Attack

German police have arrested an axe-wielding attacker believed to be suffering from mental health issues after he injured seven people at the main train station in Duesseldorf.

Attackers wielding axes injured five people at the main train station in the west German city of Duesseldorf late Thursday, local police told AFP.

A mentally ill man from Germany seriously wounded two passengers in a knife attack on a regional train in western Austria on Tuesday, police said, ruling out a terrorist act.

The 17-year-old asylum-seeker who wounded train passengers in an axe attack claimed by ISIS tried to destroy his SIM card and internal mobile phone storage, Der Spiegel magazine reported on Friday.

More than three-quarters of Germans believe their country will soon be the target of terrorism, a survey showed on Friday, after a 17-year-old asylum-seeker wounded passengers on a train in an axe attack claimed by ISIS.

Europe is at major risk of so-called "lone-wolf" terror attacks, its policing agency said, with the latest incidents showing "how difficult it is to detect and disrupt suspects".

German authorities have cast doubt on whether a teenager who went on an axe rampage on a Bavarian train was really an Afghan refugee, saying he might have been from Pakistan.

The ISIS on Tuesday released a video purportedly showing the Afghan refugee who slashed people on a German train saying he would carry out the attack and threatening "infidel" countries.

Authorities said today they strongly suspected an ISIS motive in an axe and knife attack carried out on a German train by a 17-year-old Afghan refugee that seriously wounded four members of a family from Hong Kong.

Hong Kong officials said today that four members of a family from the semi autonomous Southern Chinese city were hurt in an axe and knife attack on a German train.

German police shot dead a 17-year-old Afghan on Monday night after he attacked passengers on a train with an axe and a knife, seriously wounding three people, officials said.

"Keep Going Germany" and "Europe strives for solidarity" are some of the headlines of newspapers, conveying a sense that Germany is playing a special role in the refugee crisis being faced by Europe. Locals in Munich have been coming out in large numbers to greet hundreds of refugees arriving in trains from Hungary and Austria everyday.
