The suspect, who has not been identified, was said to have lashed out at travellers on board the ICE 91 train to Vienna this afternoon at around 1:55pm local time. The man, believed to be Syrian according to German newspaper Bild's sources, was alleged to have boarded with an axe and a hammer, before one brazen passenger disarmed him of one of the weapons and fought back.

Police said in a statement that a man 'injured several people with dangerous objects shortly before Straßkirchen' this afternoon.

Rail operator Deutsche Bahn said it was 'appalled' by the 'violent attack' on the train, which had been travelling from Hamburg.

Those who stepped in to prevent the attack continuing are reported to have wrestled a weapon away from the perpetrator and then used it against him.

Beyond the suspect, four other people were maimed, three "moderately" and one with light injuries. Some of those injured are also said to be Syrian citizens. The injured are reported by local newspaper Passauer Neue Presse to be aged between 15 and 51-years-old. | ||
