One Man Dead, Several Injured in Stabbing at German Train Station

Several people were stabbed at a train station near Munich, Germany early Tuesday, police said. One man died and several others were wounded.


The incident happened at the Grafing Bahnhof station, some 30 kilometers (nearly 20 miles) east of Munich and near the end of one of the city’s commuter railway lines, shortly before 5 a.m. (0300 GMT).


Police spokeswoman Michaela Grob said a man was arrested and authorities are working to identify him.


There was no immediate information on the assailant’s motive.


But police were checking witness statements that the perpetrator shouted “Allahu Akbar” during the attack, German broadcaster ARD and other media reported.


At least one platform at the station was expected to remain closed through midday, and there were some delays, railway operator Deutsche Bahn said.
