The male suspect then attacked passengers on the train with an axe. Passengers managed to subdue the suspect, pulling the emergency brake to stop the train near the village of Straßkirchen before police could arrest him.

Local media reported that emergency services deployed seven ambulances, two rescue helicopters and two rapid response teams to the scene.

After the train stopped, passengers were taken off and given psychological support.

According to the Bavarian Red Cross, the attack left five people injured. The suspect is believed to have been seriously injured and was taken to hospital by helicopter.
