A man who was critically injured after a stabbing at a railway station near Munich has died in hospital, German police have said.
Three other commuters were also wounded in Grafing by a man who was reportedly shouting "allahu akbar" during the attack.
"The assailant made remarks at the scene of the crime that indicate a political motivation - apparently an Islamist motive. We are still determining what the exact remarks were," a spokesman for the investigation said.
It is believed the 27-year-old suspect, who was arrested at the scene, had used a knife with a 10cm blade.
The man apprehended is a German national who was not known to the police and did not live in the region.
Prosecutors have said the alleged attacker is "not very co-operative".
Sky's Mark Stone reports that investigators have not confirmed whether it was a terror attack at this stage.
It is believed all of those injured in the stabbing, which occurred shortly before 5am (4am UK time), were men.
A Bavarian radio station is reporting that the man who died in hospital was 50 years old, while the three wounded are between 43 and 58 years old.
Initial reports had suggested the four victims were left with life-threatening injuries.
At least one platform at Grafing Bahnhof station will remain closed until lunchtime at the earliest, and the incident has caused delays across the city's railway network.
