A woman has been arrested after 17 people were injured in a knife attack in Hamburg on Friday.

A German police spokesman confirmed that officers had arrested a 39-year-old woman in connection with the attack, which happened at Hamburg Central station, and are not seeking other suspects.

Footage posted on social media showed a caucasian woman, wearing a hoodie and tracksuit bottoms, being arrested and led away from the scene by police.

According to Hamburg’s fire brigade, three people sustained life-threatening injuries and three others were seriously hurt. Six suffered minor injuries.

The attack happened during evening rush hour, at around 6.05pm local time, in between platforms 13 and 14 at the railway station.

German media reported that bloodstains could be seen on the ground and that some victims were given medical treatment on trains. Photographs showed one man being treated on the platform, while another showed a man being taken away on a stretcher.

Traffic at the station had been suspended on Friday evening, with a cordon set up around the scene of the attack.


The motivation behind the attack is currently unclear. Germany suffered a series of knife and car-ramming terror attacks in the run-up to the February federal elections.

In March, two people were killed after a man with mental illness crashed his car into a crowd of people in the western city of Mannheim. Several others were injured.

The previous month, in Munich, a rejected Afghan asylum seeker had driven his car into a trade union demonstration in central Munich the day before the annual Munich Security Conference.

Germany also suffered a serious knife attack in January in Aschaffenburg, Bavaria, where an Afghan asylum seeker stabbed a two-year-old to death in a park.

In December, a Saudi man drove his car at crowds at a Christmas market in the central city of Magdeburg, having driven through a gap in the security barriers. Six people were killed and nearly 300 injured.

Last August, in the western German city of Solingen, a Syrian asylum seeker stabbed three people to death and injured eight others during a festival celebrating diversity.

While the nationality of the suspect in Hamburg was not immediately clear, tensions have risen in Germany over the surge in attacks committed by foreigners.

The far-Right, anti-migrant Alternative for Germany party secured an unprecedented 20 per cent of the vote after February’s federal elections, making it the de facto opposition in parliament.

…a woman acting alone in such an attack is something that’s much more rare …

No, Germany.

Rare doesn't mean impossible though.

Angela Merkel let in a million refugees in a single year. My German friends say their local towns have changed beyond recognition, crime has risen and their daughters are not allowed out alone. If they say anything, they're racist. A woman stabs multiple people in Hamburg and no description of her is released, remember the problems that caused in Southport? Of course people are going to turn to the far right, they're the only parties listening to people while their countries, their cultures and their taxes are given away.

A violent woman? It won’t be long before it’s somehow a man’s fault

I just don't think that the best way to respond to Far Left ideology is to go Far Right.

But I get that I'm in the minority with that opinion.

[Ninastar]

I wonder if she was on drugs. For a woman to be able to fight and stab that many people and no one was able to take her down?

What do you think is the best way? For decades, people with concerns about the amount of immigrants landing here have been silenced. No one's been able to have a sensible conversation for fear of being labelled a racist. I come from Newham, the first borough in the country to consist of more immigrants than indigenous people. It was always multicultural because of the docks, but the numbers just went up and up.... no one could say anything so white people who could afford to, left. The same will happen to the country as a whole unless something happens to stop it and the only ones listening are on the Right.

When has that ever been said, perhaps you can point out the many posts blaming men for female violence that has led you down this path

I think that there's nothing wrong with going a more moderate Right.

I do worry when I see parties like Reform growing in popularity though, because they do seem (to me) to want to bring a more American Right to the table.

Wise thinking there in my view from you.
We do indeed know, or we should, plus it seems it may happen again and elsewhere too, even here

As to this horrific incident however, it needs to have more information revealed as to the madness of this act.
Or from what thinking it may have originated from.

It is all just going crazy.
Whether politically, or individually with the growing lack of tolerance, reasoning and respect between AND FOR other human beings.

I don't see it like that. We need to protect our own borders and care for the British people, and by that I mean everyone who is a British subject, wherever they originated. I don't see that as far right nor American Republican. Labour and the Tories have nothing but contempt for this country.

I have respect for other human beings. That doesn't mean we should accept a million of them every year to come and live here, and certainly not those who arrive illegally.

Thought that too. It usually male.

[Nicky91]

i reckon this woman is among those deluded mentally unwell idiots in the country who support Israel too


also quite rare indeed seeing one woman pulling off a knife attack like this




sad this to be happening in Hamburg right now either, like that city needs to party regarding them being in the top level of domestic league football not have vile attacks like these

I see Reform much as you do Mock.

Although in my conversations with some of the Reform supporters I've come,(unfortunately for me), across I see them even more concerning than what you fear.

[Nicky91]

and yes Merkel brought in too many migrants, that is true


but what can you do now, you cannot sent them back, its not that simple anymore for many who have german passports, learned the language, gotten kids who are german born citizens, to deport them back is disrespectful

also very racist tbh, not like there aren't criminals among german people, and that goes for every country their indigenous people (although USA has no right to talk along with this, considering their native people are the indians, whom the british also kinda drove away but they all simply forgot that)

[arista]

They arrested her

I would have pulled her Hood off

They want to insure the NHS.

I know that they're publicly backing away for now due to how unpopular the view was.

But it still doesn't change the fact that there are people within the Reform party that would love to change what the NHS stands for in this country.

I 100% agree with you Joey.

Especially with people's growing intolerance towards other people's personal beliefs.

I feel like society is regressing with each day.

To go off-topic for a minute, I've read an article that was talking about adults having a Nappy kink, and loving to piss and **** in the Nappy.

My point being that even stuff like that I personally see as a sign of society dropping it's standards for what should be deemed acceptable.

And just to clarify I have an issue with the Nappy kink, not anyone that wears them because of medical reasons.
