The perpetrator wasn't an illegal alien, maybe that's why.
@helenS What is her background?

@Oldanglaisadverbs BBC says:
"Officers arrested a 39-year-old German woman at the scene of the attack, which took place at about 18:00 local time (16:00 GMT) on Friday.

Police said there was "very concrete evidence" of mental illness in the suspect, and no evidence the attack was politically motivated.
On Saturday police said there was still no evidence of a political motive for the attack.

"Rather, there is now very concrete evidence of a mental illness on the part of the suspect," they said, adding that the woman did not appear to have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

An investigation is under way.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the attack was "shocking" and thanked the emergency services for "their rapid assistance".


Of course, he did not thank the Syrian guy who stopped her.
@helenS Did the police experts say she was mentally ill very fast?

@Oldanglaisadverbs I understood they said she was institutionalized before, and she had left the institution shortly before she attacked people at the railway station.
@helenS Is there background details of her?

@Oldanglaisadverbs I would guess not, that would be an invasion of privacy / infringement of her personal rights. But I don't know.
