The South China Morning Post said the injured passengers were from Hong Kong. He fled after the emergency brake was pulled and was pursued by a police unit and shot dead when he tried to attack the officers, officials said. Bavarian state Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said it was still too early to say whether the Afghan youth was a member of Islamic State, which has claimed responsibility for the French attack, or any other militant group. He started attacking his passengers with an ax and a knife as the train was approaching its last stop, the Bavarian city of Wuerzburg.
