A teenage Afghan refugee who hacked at passengers with an axe while shouting 'Allahu Akbar' on a train in Germany last night was an ISIS fighter, according to the terror group.
The 17-year-old, who was also found to have a hand drawn ISIS flag in his bedroom, was gunned down by armed police after fleeing from the scene near the city of Wurzburg, 70 miles north of Nuremberg in southern Germany.
As many as 19 passengers needed hospital treatment while two victims are fighting for their lives after being attacked with 'cutting and stabbing weapons'. Officials have said it was 'probably' an Islamist attack.
An eyewitness said the train, which had been carrying around 25 people, looked 'like a slaughterhouse' after the attack, with blood covering the floor.
As well as the two critically injured victims, one other passenger is believed to have non life-threatening injuries while 14 others suffered minor injuries or shock.
The attacker was eventually shot dead by police after running from the train.
