German police say at least 17 people were injured in a knife attack at Hamburg’s main train station on Friday.
Seventeen people were injured in a knife attack at Hamburg’s main railway station on Friday evening, with authorities confirming that three victims are in critical condition and three others seriously hurt.
Police have arrested a 39-year-old woman in connection with the attack, which took place on a platform between tracks 13 and 14 at Hamburg’s main railway station. Officials say the woman acted alone, and a large-scale emergency response remains underway.
According to the Hamburg fire department, several of the injuries are life-threatening. Some victims received treatment inside nearby trains, and emergency services swiftly responded to the scene, deploying numerous personnel and vehicles.
Hamburg Central Station, one of the busiest transport hubs in Germany, handles over half a million passengers daily. The station was particularly crowded during the Friday rush hour when the attack took place, adding to the chaos and urgency of the emergency response.
In a statement posted on X, Hamburg Police said: “According to initial findings, a person allegedly injured several people with a knife in the main station. The suspect was arrested by police.”
The motive behind the attack is still under investigation. Police are urging people to avoid the area as inquiries continue.
This incident marks the latest in a string of violent episodes across Germany in recent months, raising renewed concerns about public safety in crowded transport centers.
