Summary:

14 people have been injured after an Afghan teenager armed with an axe and a knife attacked people on board a train traveling between Wurzburg-Heidingsfeld and Ochsenfurt,
German police confirmed that between 10 and 15 people were injured in the attack. Meanwhile local media reports suggested that up to 21 people could have been hurt.
The Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said the attacker was a 17-year-old Afghan refugee who had been living in the nearby town of Ochsenfurt.
Hermann told public broadcaster ARD that the teenager appeared to have travelled to Germany as an unaccompanied minor
The refugee is said to have shouted "Allahu Akbar" during the attack. He was “shot” by officers as he tried to flee the scene.
At least three of the victims suffered “serious” injuries, police spokesman told local news outlet Blaulicht Würzburg.
Another person suffered light injuries, while all 14 passengers who had been in the same car of the regional train were in a state of “shock” following the onslaught.

Update 3: Bloodstains could be seen on the floor of the train carriage

The attacker fled the train but was chased and shot dead by police

Update 2: As some have speculated, it turns out that the axe-assailant was not local, and was in fact a 17-year-old Afghan who shouted "Allahu Akbar" during the attack on the German train.

Update: BBC reports local police confirm the axe-man has been shot dead.

As we detailed earlier, more than 20 people in Germany have been injured after a man with an axe went on the rampage on a train, according to German media.

The Express reports, the man then went on the run, with a huge police force, including a helicopter, in pursuit, and has been shot.

As The BBC reports,

A police operation including a helicopter is under way in Heidingsfeld, a part of the city of Wurzburg in southern Germany.

Local media (in German) tweeted that 20 people had been injured and a suspect appeared to have been shot.

The train line between Wurzburg-Heidingsfeld and Ochsenfurt is closed.
4 victims are reportedly critical, 1 moderately, and 14 being treated for shock.

No details as yet on the ethicity of the attacker but we would imagine the opposition AfD party will benefit further from the chaos as Merkel appears to be losing control.

WTF is this world coming to?

If you want to save lives, ban Privately Owned Vehicles. Nothing but negatives: Obesity Rates, Huge Numbers of Accidents, and the #1 unsolvable environmental technology.

yes, banning private cars would help the world immensely, but the auto, oil, and highway building cartels will make sure that never happens.

and public transit provides no protection against our fellow citizens. that thin layer of metal and glass is comforting to drivers in "diverse" neighborhoods.

mackinac island has no cars, so it's at least possible on that tiny level. next step up would be for a very small country like iceland to try it.

Shots have been fired in a Munich shopping centre and a police operation is under way.

One person dead. If it's terrorism, I blame Islam in advance.

Now it's several deaths.

Multiple shooters, lots of innocent people killed. I declare Islam as the culprit.

Multiple locations in Munich now being reported. Oh boy, here we go again.
It's the Allah lovers again.

Thankfully my many friends in Munich seem to be safe. Time for the regressive left to repent. Once again, the blood of the victims is on their hands.

This must be the weekend edition of the weekly terror attacks in Europe. Meanwhile Erdogan is holding the West hostage so to speak by various means including threatening to release 1,000s of "migrants" holed up in Turkey onto the continent not to mention 25% (more or less) of NATOs nuclear arsenal is sitting underground at Incirlik Air Base as the country careens towards an Islamic Caliphate.

I hope Erdogan drops dead.

Reminds me how Sadaam "pardoned" the "criminals" a couple of weeks before the invasion.
