The attack on a local train close to the southern city of Wuerzburg late Monday left two of the casualties fundamentally hurt, said Joachim Herrmann, the inside clergyman of Bavaria state.
"We trust that the individuals who were gravely harmed make it," Herrmann told ZDF open TV.
Germany has up to this point got away from the sort of expansive scale jihadist assault found in the southern French city of Nice a week ago, in which 31-year-old Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel utilized a truck to cut down 84 individuals. That assault was additionally guaranteed by IS.
The startling strike in Bavaria is liable to restore a warmed national civil argument about coordinating vagrants and exiles following a record deluge a year ago.
- 'Like a slaughterhouse' -
The attacker had touched base as an unaccompanied minor in Germany around two years back and had been staying with a non-permanent family in the locale throughout the previous two weeks, Herrmann said.
"It is very plausible this was an Islamist assault," said a service representative hours after the assault, including that the attacker was heard yelling "Allahu akbar" (God is most noteworthy).

An onlooker who lives beside the railroad station told DPA news office that the train, which had been bearing 25 individuals, looked "like a slaughterhouse" with blood covering the floor.
The man, who declined to give his name, said he saw individuals slither from the carriage and request an emergency treatment unit as different casualties lay on the floor inside.
"The culprit could leave the train, police left in interest and as a major aspect of this interest, they shot the assailant and murdered him," a police representative said.
Herrmann later said the adolescent was shot when he assaulted police while attempting to get away from the scene.
- Political strains -
Germany has been saved real Islamist assaults yet in May, a rationally insecure 27-year-old man employing a blade slaughtered one individual and harmed three others on another Bavarian local train.
Early reports had proposed he had shouted "Allahu akbar" however police later said there was no confirmation indicating a religious intention. He is being held in a psychiatric healing center.
In February, a 15-year-old young lady of Turkish source wounded a policeman in the neck with a kitchen blade at Hanover train station in what prosecutors later said was an IS-motivated assault.
Furthermore, police in April captured two 16-year-olds over a blast that injured three individuals at a Sikh sanctuary, in what was accepted to be an Islamist-spurred assault against an Indian wedding party at a sanctuary in the western city of Essen.
Germany let in almost 1.1 million shelter seekers a year ago, with Syrians the biggest gathering took after by Afghans.
However the quantity of exiles landing in Germany has fallen strongly as an aftereffect of the conclusion of the Balkans relocation course and an EU manage Turkey to stem the stream.
Bavaria is administered by the Christian Social Union (CSU), sister gathering to Chancellor Angela Merkel's preservationist Christian Democrats, which has been uproariously incredulous of Merkel's inviting position toward haven seekers.
The split undermined the solidarity of the decision coalition in Berlin and sent the administration's endorsement evaluations diving.
It has additionally placed wind in the sails of a conservative populist party, Alternative for Germany, which was established as an eurosceptic dissent outfit in 2013 however now essentially rails against Islam and Germany's displaced person deluge.
Merkel's ubiquity has bounced back as of late however the Bavaria assault is prone to feed political pressures.
