Twelve people have been wounded – six critically – after a woman with a knife stabbed people at the central railway station in the German city of Hamburg.
Police said the assailant was a 39-year-old woman who was believed to have acted alone when she attacked people on the platform between tracks 13 and 14 in the station late on Friday.
Hamburg’s fire service said six people sustained life-threatening injuries, while another three were seriously injured and three had slight injuries, the German news agency dpa reported.
The station in Hamburg, Germany’s second-biggest city, is a major hub for local, regional and long-distance trains. Police cordoned off part of the complex.
