BERLIN (AP) – The Latest on the German train attack (all times local):
4:40 p.m.
German prosecutors say an Afghan teenager brought an ax and knife with him on board a regional train, armed himself with the weapons in the train’s bathroom, then attacked “fully unsuspecting” passengers.
Prosecutor Erik Ohlenschlager said the suspect hacked and slashed at the passengers “with great force on their bodies and heads.”
He says in an emergency call made by a witness from the train during the attack, police were able to hear the attacker call out “Allahu akbar,” the Arabic phrase for “God is great.”
