British woman, 31, dies after railway station stabbing in Germany

Police were called to the scene in the early hours of Sunday morning after a woman was attacked with a knife

A 31-year-old British woman has tragically died following a stabbing at a railway station in Rosenheim, Germany. Officers responded in the early hours of Sunday morning after receiving reports of a woman being assaulted with a blade and sustaining critical injuries.

The victim was transported to hospital, where she subsequently died, while the suspected attacker, a 27-year-old German man, was arrested at the scene.

Authorities remain uncertain about the circumstances and reasoning behind the assault, and have appealed for witnesses to assist with their investigation, reports the Express.

Police have requested that anyone who observed “an argument” or a “physical altercation” at the station just before 1am local time on Sunday get in touch with them.

The force refused to disclose whether the individuals were acquainted or if there was any link to the Rosenheim Autumn Festival, according to The Telegraph, which is similar Oktoberfest and attracts more than a million attendees throughout its 16-day duration.

Rosenheim, amongst the major cities in Upper Bavaria, serves as a significant transport junction for travellers heading to Austrian destinations, including Vienna, Salzburg, and Innsbruck.
