The perpetrator, who fled the scene after the attack, was “shot” by officers, police confirmed.
Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann announced that authorities believe that a 17-year-old teen of Afghan origin was behind the attack.
The suspect entered the country as an “unaccompanied minor” and lived with a “foster family” for the last two weeks. Before that he had been housed at the Kolping-Heim refugee center, FOCUS online reported.
The minister also refuted claims of a possible second attacker, and are treating the attack as a “single perpetrator” case.
Some German media reports suggest that the 17-year-old attacker who resided in Ochsenfurt shouted “Allahu Akbar”(God is great) as he charged at his victims.
A police helicopter was circling the area and a large number of officers were deployed to the scene. Over a dozen paramedics also arrived on site, according to photos shared on Twitter.
