UPDATE: Up to five people were injured:
Police in Dusseldorf have arrested at least two people following an ax attack at the city’s main train station. Several people have been injured, according to reports.
There are opposing reports as to whether police are searching for other suspects.
Rainer Kerstiens, a federal police spokesman for the regional state of North Rhine-Wesphalia, described the attack to Deutsche Welle as an “amok attack.” The mayor of Düsseldorf, Thomas Geisel, is reported to have now arrived at the scene.
Up to five people were reportedly injured in the attack but, as of yet, there are no details about the extent of their injuries. Spiegel reported that eyewitnesses saw people bleeding on the ground, but there has been no confirmation from police.
