Berlin: <\/b><\/p>\n

Two people were killed and several others wounded in a knife attack on a regional train in northern Germany Wednesday, police said, announcing that the alleged assailant had been captured.<\/p>\n

The stabbings occurred on a train travelling between the cities of Hamburg and Kiel, a spokesman for the federal police force said.<\/p>\n

The suspect was taken into custody at the railway station in the town of Brokstedt.<\/p>\n

It was not immediately clear how many people had been injured or how serious their condition was. Media reports cited around five wounded.<\/p>\n

Regional interior minister Sabine Suetterlin-Waack said she was “shocked” by the attack and that her “thoughts were with the families and loved ones of the victims”.<\/p>\n

She added that federal and state police were “working closely together” to determine a motive.<\/p>\n

Germany’s national rail company said some trains on the line between Hamburg and Kiel had been cancelled to allow police to conduct their investigation.<\/p>\n

Germany has been hit in recent years by several deadly knife attacks, some carried out by extremists and others by people suffering from serious psychological problems.<\/p>\n

A Syrian jihadist was given a life sentence in May 2021 for stabbing a German man to death and severely wounding his partner in a homophobic attack in the eastern city of Dresden.<\/p>\n

A German court in December sentenced a Syrian-born man to 14 years in prison for an Islamist knife attack on a train in which he injured four passengers.<\/p>\n

Last year a German court committed a Somali man to a psychiatric hospital after he stabbed three people to death in the southern city of Wuerzburg in 2021.<\/p>\n
