Police have not yet confirmed his identity.
A video released by ISIS claims to show him delivering a speech in Pashto to the camera while holding a knife.
The video calls him ‘a soldier of the Islamic State who carried out the Wurzburg attack’.
The video appears to show Muhammad Riyad saying he would ‘slaughter infidels’ with the knife he holds up to the camera.
He says: "I am a soldier of the caliphate and I am going to carry out an suicide attack in Germany.
"O Kufar, the time has passed when you would come to our homeland and kill our men, our women and our children. And your apostate rulers were silent about these massacres.
"That time is over now. Now the Islamic Caliphate has been established in Iraq, Al-Sham, Khorosan, Libya and Yemen and God Willing, soldiers of the caliphate will get you.
A total of 18 people were injured in the axe and knife attack - with two men from Hong Kong and a local woman left fighting for their lives.
The axeman - who police have confirmed was a 17-year-old Afghan national who came to Germany as a refugee last year - was shot dead after running from the train and allegedly trying to attack police officers.
The full horror of the attack is immediately apparent from images inside and around the blood-splattered carriages.
The attack is likely to deepen worries about so-called “lone wolf” attacks in Europe.
It could also increase political pressure on German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who welcomed hundreds of thousands of migrants to Germany over the past year.
