Several injured in ax attack at German train station
CBS News ^ | Mar. 9, 2017

BERLIN -- A man was arrested after injuring five people with an ax at Duesseldorf’s main train station late Thursday, police said, correcting earlier police reports of two arrests.

German police said there was a single perpetrator, who is severely injured in a hospital. The perpetrator has not been identified.

Of the five people who were injured in the attack, one of them is in life-threatening condition, police said.

The motivation for the attack is unclear, CBS News correspondent Mark Phillips reported from London. No fatalities were reported.

Earlier, a spokesman for federal police, who are usually in charge of policing train stations, had said two people were arrested and further attackers might be on the run.

A spokeswoman for Duesseldorf police Anja Kynast said officers are searching the station and its surroundings, but that they do not have concrete information about further attackers at this stage.

I’m no gambler, but if I was, I’d bet good money that the attackers were shouting Allahu Akbar.

It’s kinda sad...because I *DO* care about My Fellow Man...but seriously?

Why isn’t My Fellow European attacking their Government LEADERS with axes? I mean, THEY are the ones that ALLOW these animals to live among them!

I guess it’s just easier to keep voting for Socialists and HOPE that you’re the last fatality.

"German police said there was a single perpetrator, who is severely injured in a hospital. The perpetrator has not been identified."

Whoever he is and Wherever he comes from. He is NOT a Muslim!

Everybody got that!?

I'm guessing the second person was arrested for stating the truth that the attacker was a Muslim.

Last year a radical Muslim attacked people with a machete at a German train station. This is starting to look like a preferred method of attack by terrorists in Germany.

They’ve had axe attacks before.

“Ax attacks are not unheard of in Germany. Last July, a 17-year-old Afghan refugee injured five people on a regional train in the central town of Wurzburg before he was killed by police. The refugee later claimed in a video to be acting on behalf of ISIS.”

Uh huh. One wonders if they will hope we lose interest before they have to release the name.

I can see that - on the off chance the attacker is a Muslim they have to figure out what the victims did to deserve it.
