A 17-year-old Afghan refugee has been shot dead by police after attacking up to 15 people with an axe on a train in Germany.
The teenager, who shouted 'Allahu Akbar' during the onslaught, was gunned down by armed police after fleeing from the scene near the city of Wurzburg in southern Germany.
As many as 15 people were injured while three of them are fighting for their lives after being attacked with 'cutting and stabbing weapons'.
Authorities say the attacker was an unaccompanied Afghan – but the motives for his attack are still unclear.
