More than a dozen people were injured during mass stabbing at a busy train station in Germany on Friday, according to reports.
The shocking incident unfolded at around 6:00 p.m. local time in Hamburg.
The suspect, identified by police as a 39-year-old woman with German citizenship, began slashing commuters on a crowded platform during the evening rush hour.
At least 18 victims were wounded, including four who were listed in critical condition and six who were seriously injured, NDR reports.
Witness footage of the alleged perpetrator being hauled off in handcuffs has been circulating on social media.

Bei der festgenommenen Person handelt es sich um eine 39-jährige Frau. Aufgrund der bisherigen Erkenntnisse gehen wir davon aus, dass sie allein gehandelt hat. Die Ermittlungen zu den Hintergründen laufen auf Hochtouren.— Polizei Hamburg (@PolizeiHamburg) May 23, 2025
Popular German political commentator Naomi Seibt expressed concern that a female suspect could have been able to wound so many people apparently without effective intervention.
“Are Germans just a bunch of cowards with no love and courage for their fellow citizens??? Something is off,” Seibt asserted.
