TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Around 18 people were injured in a stabbing attack at the central train station in the city of Hamburg, Germany, on Friday evening local time. As reported by Channel NewsAsia, all the victims were in stable condition, said the police on Saturday, May 24, 2025.
A 39-year-old German woman was arrested at the scene of the attack on Friday without resistance. The police said they believed the attacker acted alone.
The Hamburger Abendblatt newspaper reported that two passersby managed to overpower the assailant and take the knife.
The newspaper quoted fire department spokesperson Philipp Baumann, who said the attack injured 18 people aged between 19 and 85 years old.
Three women aged 24, 52, and 85, and a 24-year-old man suffered critical injuries. However, according to the police, all four were in stable condition on Saturday.
There were no direct indications of any political motive, and the police said investigators were looking into whether the suspect might be mentally ill.
The suspect was expected to appear before a judge on Saturday and then be placed in a psychiatric ward.
The assailant targeted people on the platform between tracks 13 and 14 at the station around 6:00 p.m. local time on Friday. The station in the center of Hamburg, the second-largest city in Germany, is a major hub for local, regional, and long-distance trains.
Carrying weapons, including knives, is prohibited at the station and local transportation in Hamburg.
