Officials: Germany Stabbing Suspect Mentally Unstable

Officials: Germany Stabbing Suspect Mentally Unstable
By MATTHIAS SCHRADER AND GEIR MOULSON, ASSOCIATED PRESS
GRAFING, Germany — May 10, 2016, 11:57 AM ET
A German man yelled "infidel, you must die" and "Allahu akbar" as he stabbed one person to death and wounded three others at a Bavarian train station Tuesday, but authorities said they've found no links to any Islamic extremist network.
The 27-year-old, who had previously been in psychiatric care, made a "rather confused impression" as he was questioned by investigators, authorities said.
He had a 10-centimeter (4-inch) survival knife tucked into his belt when he was caught at about 5 a.m. near the scene of the attack by the Grafing Bahnhof station, near Munich, they said.
One man died in a hospital after the apparently random attack and three other men were being treated for their wounds.
The suspect's name wasn't released in line with German privacy laws, but authorities said he is a German citizen with a traditional German name.
