Rush minute
According to German media, the attack occurred on one of the platforms in front of a standing train shortly after 6 p.m. ( 1600 GMT ). According to a representative for the Hanover national police department, which also covers Hamburg, the suspect was believed to have turned “against travellers” at the station. According to German everyday Bild, some of the patients were treated onboard waiting trains in the place. Pictures of the scene show people being loaded into waiting ambulances and police blocking access to the systems at one finish of the place.

European chancellor Friedrich Merz called the Hamburg president to express his surprise. According to a reading from a official, Merz said,” My views are with the victims and their families.” A number of violent attacks, frequently motivated by ideology or far-right extremists, have recently shaken Germany, placing protection at the top of the plan. Four people were hurt in a stabbing at a club in Bielefeld on Sunday, according to the most recent incident. Federal prosecutors have now turned over the investigation into that attack after the Arab suspect admitted to having jihadist beliefs to the police who detained him. During Germany’s recent election campaign, the issue of safety and the american nature of some of the intruders was a hot topic. The far-right, anti-immigration Alternative for Germany ( AfD ) received a record score of more than 20 % in February, which was led by Merz’s conservative CDU/CSU. Germany’s ban on carrying weapons, which are currently prohibited at public meetings and on long-distance trains, was strengthened next year. They are also prohibited in particular areas of some towns, such as at Hamburg’s train stop. However, previous inquiries from experts and authorities organizations raised the effectiveness of these restrictions.
