Script:
Hamburg, Germany – May 23, 2025
Chaos erupted during evening rush hour at Hamburg’s central train station when a mass stabbing left at least 12 people injured, several of them critically. The incident occurred around 6:00 p.m. local time, prompting a swift emergency response and large-scale police deployment.

According to local authorities, a female suspect was arrested at the scene and is currently in custody. Eyewitnesses described a scene of panic as commuters fled from the station. The motive behind the attack remains under investigation, but officials have not ruled out a possible extremist or politically motivated angle.

Footage shared online by @worldbestmCL shows the immediate aftermath, with emergency services tending to victims and securing the area. The incident has reignited debates around public safety and immigration policies, especially after the post accompanying the video included politically charged commentary critical of Germany's traditional political parties and used the hashtag #Messerattacke (knife attack).
