Knife attack at the main train station: 18 injured after madness!
On Friday evening, May 23, a shocking knife attack occurred at Hamburg Central Station, which injured 18 people, four of whom were temporarily in mortal danger. The crime took place on platforms 13 and 14 at around 6 p.m. A 39-year-old woman apparently stabbed her random and was arrested without resistance shortly afterwards. The train traffic at Hamburg Central Station had to be stopped immediately due to the incidents, which led to significant delays and diversions in long -distance transport. Investigators are currently not assuming a political motive for the attack and rather consider that the suspect could have been in a mental state of emergency. The Derwesten.de reports that the crime knife was secured and that the police were already known as mentally ill.
It is particularly tragic that the alleged perpetrator had only been released from a psychiatric facility a day before the attack. She had previously had several stays in psychiatry. The police informed that the woman could be charged in 15 cases for attempted manslaughter and dangerous bodily harm. Four of the injured people come from Bremen, while the age group of the injured varied between 19 and 85 years. Four life -threatening victims have now been stabilized and some injuries were released from the hospital on Saturday.mental illnesses in focus
The incidents throw a light on the challenges in the field of mental illnesses. According to an analysis of Statista.com , the occurrence of mental illnesses has increased in recent years. In Germany, more and more professionals are affected by mental disorders, which is also reflected in the annual production loss costs of over 17 billion euros. Social, domestic and medical health professions are particularly affected. Structures for preventive support and suitable treatment approaches are therefore of essential importance.
After the knife attack at Hamburg Central Station, the Hamburg sacrificial representative offers support for those affected. Chancellor Friedrich Merz expressed his support and promised the Federal Government. The incident has rejected not only the city, but also the national debate about mental illnesses.
The police have now set up a point of view to encourage witnesses, to transmit photos or videos from the crime, while all tracks at the main train station were released again after securing. The incidents show the complexity and urgency with society and authorities to react to mental illnesses.
