Germany: 2 killed, several injured in train knife attack
it is just one attack in a long line of knife attacks in this style
Police said the attack took place as the train was approaching the Brokstedt station, a small community of around 2,000 people north of Hamburg and south of Kiel. A suspect was arrested when the train reached Brokstedt station. Multiple travelers had called the emergency services from the train.
The station was closed to allow emergency services to continue their work on site.
According to police, further details remained elusive around two hours after the attack. Neither suspected motives or reasons for the attacker's actions, nor the condition of those injured was entirely clear.
Police later added that the suspect was thought to be a young man, probably between 20 and 30, and was not thought to have been on any extremist watch lists, based on preliminary checks.
