Germany Mass Stabbing Suspect Has Psychological Illness: Police

  • On Friday shortly after 6:00 pm, a 39-year-old woman launched a mass stabbing attack on platform 13/14 at Hamburg’s main train station, injuring 18 people between the ages of 19 and 85.
  • Police believe the suspect, who had no fixed address and showed no signs of intoxication, acted alone and suffered from a psychological illness with no political motive.
  • The stabbing took place on platform 13/14 during rush hour and was stopped quickly thanks to the intervention of two bystanders and law enforcement officers.
  • Among the four individuals who sustained severe, initially life-threatening injuries were a man aged 24 and three women whose ages were 24, 52, and 85. Authorities reported on Saturday that all 18 people injured in the attack were no longer in critical condition.
  • Authorities ordered the suspect's commitment to a psychiatric clinic for attempted murder and grievous bodily harm, highlighting ongoing concerns over public safety despite recent knife bans in Germany.
