The suspect in the recent knife attack at Hamburg’s central train station had been known to police since 2021 as a person with “clear signs of mental illness,” German officials said on Sunday.
A German national, the suspect was detained on Friday evening after allegedly stabbing people at random at the busy transport hub, injuring 18 people.
The 39-year-old woman, who hails from the northern state of Lower Saxony, was released from a psychiatric hospital only the day before the stabbing.
And this will be the last we hear of this.
