Multiple people were wounded, some suffering life-threatening injuries, after a woman allegedly stabbed travelers with a knife on Friday at Hamburg Central Station in Germany.

The 39-year-old woman, who has not yet been publicly identified, was arrested shortly after the attack without incident, Hamburg Police announced on X.

More than 550,000 travelers pass through Hamburg’s main station each day, making it the most frequented passenger railway station in Germany, according to its website.

The station, which opened in 1906, is just a short walk from the city center and features 75 shops and restaurants.

In February, one person was seriously injured in a stabbing at Berlin’s Holocaust memorial near the U.S. embassy.

On Wednesday, Elias Rodriguez, of Chicago, was charged with killing two Israeli Embassy staffers during a shooting at an event hosted by the American Jewish Committee in Washington, D.C.
