The Islamic State claimed responsibility for an ax and knife rampage on a German commuter train that injured at least five people, the group said in a statement posted by its Aamaq news agency Tuesday.

The statement said the attacker, a 17-year-old Afghan asylum seeker, was a member of the Islamic State group and carried out the attack in response to its calls to attack countries that are members of an anti-Islamic State coalition.

The assailant was shot dead by police as he fled the scene.

Joachim Herrmann, Bavaria’s interior minister, told public broadcaster ZDF that investigators raiding the attacker's room in a foster home found a hand-painted flag of the Islamic State. He came to Germany two years ago as an unaccompanied minor.

Herrmann also said that the assailant shouted “Allahu akbar” — "God is great" — as he carried out the attack. Authorities have not yet determined a motive.

Four members of a family from Hong Kong were hurt in the incident, two of them critically.

The South China Morning Post newspaper said the family members — tourists vacationing in Germany — included the 62-year-old father, 58-year-old mother, 27-year-old daughter and her 31-year-old boyfriend. A fifth family member, a 17-year-old son, was not hurt.

Fourteen other passengers on the train were being treated for shock. The attack took place about 175 miles northwest of Munich.

About 96,000 unaccompanied minors traveled to Europe as asylum seekers last year, according to UNICEF.

Police have found a hand-painted Islamic State flag in the room of a young Afghan refugee who attacked passengers on a train in southern Germany with an axe, a state minister said on Tuesday.

Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said however it was too early to say whether the youth was a member of Islamic State or any other militant group. Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack, according to its Amaq news agency.

The 17-year-old severely wounded four Hong Kong residents, two of whom are now in critical condition, on the train late on Monday then injured a local woman after fleeing before police shot him dead.

The attack took place days after a Tunisian delivery man plowed a truck into crowds of revelers in the southern French city of Nice, killing 84. Islamic State has also claimed responsibility for that incident.

The case is likely to deepen worries about so-called "lone wolf" attacks in Europe and could put political pressure on German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who has welcomed hundreds of thousands of migrants to Germany over the past year.
