Police still see no political motivation for Hamburg knife attack
The police still see no indication of a political motivation behind the knife attack at Hamburg Central Station.

There are currently no indications that she was under the influence of intoxicating substances such as alcohol or drugs, they said, without providing further details.
The exact sequence of events is still being reconstructed. The 39-year-old female suspect is to be brought before a magistrate on Saturday.
The attack, which resulted in 18 injuries on Friday evening on the platform 13/14, triggered a major operation by police and rescue forces.
