At least 12 people were injured in a mass stabbing attack at Hamburg Central Station on Friday evening, according to local reports.
The Hamburg fire service confirmed that six individuals sustained life-threatening injuries, while another three were seriously injured, and three others suffered minor wounds. German media outlet Bild reported that three victims remain in critical condition.
Authorities have arrested a female suspect in connection with the attack, though details about her motives have not been released. Hamburg Police announced the arrest on the social media platform X, stating, “There is currently a major police operation in #Hamburg on #Hauptbahnhof!” They later confirmed that the suspect had been apprehended and that “several people” were injured by a knife in the incident.
The attack occurred at Hamburg Hauptbahnhof, a central hub for local, regional, and long-distance train services in Germany’s second-largest city. The station is a critical transit point for commuters and travelers in the region.
The situation remains under investigation, with authorities working to determine the circumstances and motive behind the attack. This is just the latest mass stabbing to occur in Germany in recent months, with a Syrian migrant arrested earlier this week for a stabbing spree that left eight injured, including an 11-year-old girl.
