Update on Hamburg Stabbing Incident at Main Station
Two victims of the stabbing attack at Hamburg's main station remain hospitalized. The public prosecutor's office spokesperson could not confirm on Wednesday whether these individuals had been discharged, providing status information from Tuesday.
Following the incident on Friday evening, 18 victims were transferred to hospitals. Of these, eleven suffered serious injuries, and seven sustained minor wounds. Initially, three women aged 24, 52, and 85, and a 24-year-old man were in critical condition.
The alleged perpetrator, a 39-year-old woman, was freed from a psychiatric facility shortly before the attack. She was arrested on the platform immediately afterwards. On Saturday, a judge ordered her continued detention in a clinic. During the hearing, the woman reportedly admitted to the crime, according to the Hamburg public prosecutor's office.
The detention order pertains to attempted manslaughter in connection with dangerous bodily harm in 15 cases, according to the police. The weapon used in the attack has been secured by the police.
Investigations are underway to determine the suspect's motives, but no clear cause has been disclosed as of yet. Authorities are examining her background.
Regarding her supposed plans to travel to Paris, there is no supporting evidence or official statement confirming these intentions.
