Woman who stabbed 15 at Hamburg train station confined to psychiatric hospital, court rules

A woman who stabbed 15 people in an attack at Hamburg's central train station in northern Germany last year was ordered on Monday to be held permanently in a psychiatric hospital.

A court ruled that the 39-year-old woman, who had been diagnosed with schizophrenia, could not be held criminally responsible for the 23 May attack, according to a court spokesperson.
