A young man wounded three and killed one person in a knife attack at a German railway station on Tuesday morning.
According to the police, the man slashed the four persons around 5 am local time at the station in the town of Grafing east of Munich.
Mayor Angelika Obermayr described the suspect as a '27-year-old German man'
An official of the prosecutor's office said one man had died from injuries sustained in the attack
He said the 27-year-old "assailant made remarks at the scene of the crime that indicate a political motive- apparently an Islamist motive.
"We are still determining what the exact remarks were" he said.
However, local media reported that witness had said the young man had yelled "Allhu akbar" during the attack.
The police spokesman said "a political background cannot be ruled out," adding that the man was not very cooperative.
