Germany Mass Stabbing Suspect Has Psychological Illness: Police

  • A 39-year-old homeless woman carried out a knife attack on Friday evening at Hamburg Central Station, injuring 18 people aged 19 to 85.
  • Authorities attribute the stabbing spree to the suspect's mental illness and believe she acted alone, ruling out political motives or substance influence.
  • Two bystanders and law enforcement quickly subdued the woman on platform 13/14 shortly after 6:00 pm, ending the attack during the evening rush hour.
  • Among those severely injured were four individuals—a man aged 24 and three women whose ages were 24, 52, and 85—whose conditions were initially thought to be life-threatening but have since improved or led to discharge.
  • The suspect was ordered committed to a psychiatric clinic for attempted murder and multiple grievous bodily harm counts, highlighting ongoing concerns about mental health in violent incidents.
