In May, a mentally-unstable 27-year-old man carried out a similar knife attack on a regional train in the south, killing one person and injuring three others. BERLIN, Germany — German police shot dead a 17-year-old Afghan late Monday after he attacked train passengers with an axe and a knife, seriously wounding three people in what one official said was a “probable” Islamist attack. The attack happened around 9:15 pm (1915 GMT) on the train, which runs between Treuchlingen and Wuerzburg in Bavaria. Several other people were also injured in the attack on a regional train near the southern city of Wuerzburg, police said, adding that the teenager was killed as he tried to flee. “Shortly after arriving at Wuerzburg, a man attacked passengers with an axe and a knife,” a police spokesman said.
