The train was traveling near the western city of Aachen when the man began attacking fellow passengers “randomly and arbitrarily,” state interior minister said, according to the news agency dpa.
The motive for the attack was under investigation. The wounded were being treated at local hospitals and none of them was in life-threatening condition, police said.
There were about 270 passengers on the train, Reul said. A police officer who happened to be among the passengers overpowered the 31-year-old suspect with the help of two other passengers, state police said.
The suspect was known to authorities, Reul said. He described the attack as “a gruesome crime that was stopped in an enormous act of courage.”
Angela Merkel, about seven years ago, decided to let nearly 1,000,000 refugees, from the Middle East into her country. The results are these random attacks (which have occurred before), by individuals, who hate Westerners, whom they perceive as “infidels”. On the other hand, Hungary, which prohibited these refugees from entering their country, have had none of these terrorist type random attacks.
