Knife attack at train station in Germany, two killed

The knife attack took place at a train station in northern Germany with dozens of people witnessing the assault.

Iran Press/Europe: German Police partially closed the train station in the northern German city of Iserlohn after a man and woman were attacked.

A 43-year-old suspect has been detained following a deadly knife attack at Iserlohn train station in Germany in which a 32-year-old woman and a 23-year-old man died, the German news agency DPA reports, citing a police spokesman.

The alleged attacker did not put up a struggle and was detained on the spot.

"Our investigation suggests so far that there is no other motivation for the crime other than their personal relationship”, he said.

According to the German outlet Bild, one of the victims was still fighting for his life when emergency services arrived, but he could not be saved.

The area around the station was partially closed: one of the tracks was shut down, while another remained accessible.

In order to prevent passengers from seeing the crime scene, they were accompanied to a detour to the station’s front square and bus station.

The suspect, who came from the same town in northern Germany as the victims, will appear before a magistrate tomorrow.
