Afghan Immigrant Attacks Passengers with Axe & Knife in Germany

A boy brandishing an axe and a knife has wrecked havoc on passengers on a train outside the city of Wurzburg in Germany, hurting more than 20 people.

According to Independent UK, the attack was carried out by a 17-year-old boy who reportedly was originally from Afghanistan.

Speaking with the press the Bavarian interior minister said the the boy arrived Germany as a refugee, and that during the attack, he was shouting religious mantra.

Three people were seriously hurt, and as he attempted to flee the train, the boy was shot dead by the police. The motive of the attack is yet to be ascertained.

BBC adds that the air in Germany is tense especially because of the attack across the border in France, the most recent being the Bastille Day attack in Nice, France, that left at least 84 people dead.
