May 24, Kathmandu-Eighteen people were injured in a knife attack at Hamburg's main railway station on Friday evening, with four victims sustaining life-threatening injuries, though all were reported stable by Saturday. The attack occurred around 18:00 local time between platforms 13 and 14 while a train was present, and the suspect—a 39-year-old German woman—began stabbing people waiting on the platform. She was quickly subdued by two bystanders and emergency services. Victims ranged in age from 19 to 85, with seven slightly injured, seven seriously injured, and four critically injured. Authorities confirmed that there is "very concrete evidence" the suspect suffers from mental illness, and no political motive has been found. The woman, who was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol, remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in court. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz called the incident “shocking” and praised the swift response of emergency personnel. An investigation is ongoing.
