In a terrifying incident at Hamburg's main train station, a 39-year-old woman was arrested following a knife attack that left at least 17 individuals injured. Four victims sustained life-threatening injuries amid the chaos of the evening rush hour. Authorities indicate that there is no evidence of a political motive behind the attack, suggesting instead that the suspect may have been experiencing a psychological emergency.
