Eighteen people were injured, including four critically, in a knife attack at Hamburg central station in Germany, police said.
The victims, aged between 19 and 85, were waiting for a train on the platform when they were stabbed at about 6.05pm on Friday. Police said the suspect, a 39-year-old woman, was detained at the scene with the help of two passers-by.
In an update on Saturday, Hamburg police said there was “very concrete evidence of a mental illness on the part of the suspect”. There was no evidence of political motivation or that she was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, they added.
Paramedics attend victims of the stabbings at Hamburg central station The four critically injured victims, who were identified as three women aged 24, 52 and 85 and a man aged 52, are in a stable condition. Seven others suffered serious injuries and the remaining seven were said to have “slight” injuries.
Some of the wounded were treated by medical teams in trains after the attack, according to local reports. Police cordoned off the area around the station and more than 400 officers were deployed at the scene.

I always find that claim of motivation odd. Isn’t any perpetuation of mass or serial violent crime have some degree of mental abnormality involved? That should be assumed.
PS Here is a brief video of the perp, a woman with blond hair. A man’s voice can he heard saying “Hamdullah” in the background (all praise to Allah or something like that).

Oh? Care to share the nature or genesis of this evidence?
Motive under investigation?
She could be just a crazy lady. She could be a covert to Islam.
It’s probably the former. But if it’s the latter, we’ll never be told about it.
Ugh. In post #4 it should read:
She could be a convert to Islam.
I think autocorrect is deliberately trying to embarrass me.
Said it before and will keep saying it.
Google knife attacks, google bombings, google rape gangs, google hostages ...then you decide what a moslem is.
Oh. It’s just mental illness.
Well, that’s okay, then.
🙄
She seems to have a history of mental illness. Reportedly she had been hospitalised in a psych ward until the day before the attack.
“very concrete evidence of a mental illness on the part of the suspect”
They’re scared to tell the truth.
That's a little different. Is her name Aisha? Halima?
That's a very large police presence. But late.
They always claim that when a muzzie is involved, as if that's not just a normal part of their culture.
What were all of them doing while the stabbings going on filming it with cell phones and nobody did anything to stop it?.
Wow. They sure got that information out fast.
“Hamburg police said there was “very concrete evidence of a mental illness on the part of the suspect”.”
Islam?
Perfectly sane for any individual to injure 18 with a knife. Could be the Hamptons, or Beverly Hills residents....at columbia....chanting “from the river to the sea, blood....”
She stabbed 18 people before somebody stepped in?
Rest of the story (from dozens of German articles):
1. This 39-year old German gal was originally arrested/detained back in Feb 2025...at the Hamburg Airport for some type of assault on a 6-year old kid. Cops cuffed her there and she ended up in a mental ward. During this stay...she assaulted another ‘customer’ of the ward.
The day prior to this train station event...she was finally released by the mental facility. They felt she was improving...obviously they were wrong.
2. This end of the station (track 13) is on the east end. If you walk out that door...it’s a 3-minute walk to the Hamburg drug-zone. Having been in Hamburg a dozen times...I can vouch for the ease of access to drugs, and a fair assortment of crazies, paranoid schizophrenics, homeless folks, and drug addicts in this part of town. Lingering around the station is not smart/safe.
I’ll also say that I was there on track 13 back four weeks ago.
3. As for who stopped the gal? Well...with all the knife action going on...it’s not going to be discussed much....but a young Syrian guy and a older guy from Chechnya stepped in and held her down.
4. The weapons-free-zone BS gets thrown around a good bit. All stations in Germany have (in the past month or two) gone to this. But the only thing it really means....is that cops can step up...demand an ID from you...frisk you, and if you refuse anything...they can jail you.
The rule also says that if they find a knife on you...there’s a potential 2k Euro fine involved.
But with the chaos and moving crowds at the Hamburg station...I doubt if the cops invoke the ID/frisk routine on more than 50 people a day.
5. Finally, all this knife-chatter going on...goes beyond radical Islam, and readily involves crazies and plain German juveniles.
I don’t remember nothing like this in the 1980s/1990s. This idea of the weapons-free-zone BS...barely scratches the surface of the problem developing.
