A 27-year-old man killed one person and wounded three others in a knife attack at a German station on Tuesday that prosecutors said had "an apparent Islamist motive."

"The assailant made remarks at the scene of the crime that indicate a political motivation -- apparently an Islamist motive," said a prosecutor's spokesman. "We are still determining what the exact remarks were."

He added that "one man has died" of the wounds sustained in the attack.
