MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Police arrested a 27-year-old after he attacked four commuters with a knife in the town of Grafing, 22 miles from Munich. He reportedly shouted "Allahu Akbar" ("God is great" in Arabic).
Herrmann was cited by local radio station Bayerischer Rundfunk as saying that the man had come under police attention in another German state days before the attack over drug consumption and psychological problems. "No further police action followed," the minister added.
Bavarian police did not confirm reports that the attacker could have had Islamist motives. An Upper Bavarian police spokeswoman said he had been heard to make political remarks at the time of the attack.
