Early Tuesday, a German man stabbed four people at a train station near Munich, Germany. One person died, and three were injured in the attack. A German politician says that the attack was not due to political reasons.

The 27-year-old alleged suspect was screaming “God is greatest” in Arabic during the stabbings. A few days earlier, the man was also in a different part of Germany, and was suspected of doing drugs and showed disturbing behavior.

A 50-year-old man died shortly after the attack in the hospital due to stab wounds. Three other men were injured, and being treated in the hospital. Bavarian radio said one of those men was seriously injured due to the attack. The attacker was peacefully taken by police, and the police confiscated a 4-inch knife used in the attacks.
