An axe for goodness sake

German train 'axe attack': Many reported hurt

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-36827725

"More than 20 people in Germany have been injured after a man with an axe went on the rampage on a train, German media report.

A police operation including a helicopter is under way in Heidingsfeld, a part of the city of Wurzburg in southern Germany.

Details are scant and contradictory at this stage but some local media (in German) are reporting 21 casualties.

Some of the victims' injuries are thought to be life-threatening......"

WTF - this is what we are talking about in this thread. 20 injured, some critically, with an axe???? Even with a fighting hatchet - 20 people???? Dude wasn't no Conan. On a train???? That's not exactly room to swing a long arm weapon.

I can see 4 or 5 before everybody jumps up - but then should have been a 3 to 4 man pile on.
