18 Injured in Knife Attack in Germany

At least 18 people were injured in a knife attack at Hamburg Central Station on Friday evening, according to German media reports.

The incident took place at one of Germany’s busiest transport hubs, prompting a swift response from federal police. Authorities have confirmed the arrest of a female suspect in connection with the attack, though her identity and motives have not yet been disclosed.

Emergency services quickly arrived at the scene, and injured individuals were treated on-site and transported to local hospitals for further care. The extent of the injuries sustained by the victims has not been fully disclosed, but reports suggest that some may be in serious condition.

The motive behind the attack remains under investigation, and officials have yet to confirm whether it is being treated as an act of terrorism or a random act of violence.

Hamburg police and federal security units have cordoned off parts of the central station as investigations continue. Increased police presence has been deployed throughout the city’s transport network as a precaution.
