Eighteen people were injured in an attack on knife, which took place at the Hamburg station in Germany on Friday evening, reported German Bild newspaper. The local police confirmed that she had arrested the suspect.
Four victims are in critical condition and six others are seriously injured, Bild reported, and said that the motive of the attack was unclear.
The police said that a 39 -year -old woman, a German national, was arrested on the spot. She was left without resistance. The police believed after watching the videos that she acted herself. They secured a knife.
“So far, we have no evidence that a woman could deal with political motivation,” said Hamburg police spokesman Florian Abbenseth. “Rather, we have a finding based on what we are now investigating, in particular, whether it could be in a state of mental emergency.”
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said in a contribution to the social media platform that the news from Hamburg was “shocking”.
“My thoughts are with victims and their families,” he said.
