Hamburg police are reporting that one person has been killed and four injured in a knife attack in a Hamburg grocery store. Bystanders chased down the assailant and tackled him before police arrived on the scene.



A 52-year-old German man was stabbed to death in an Edeka Supermarket. A 50-year-old woman and four men aged 64, 57, 56 and 19 suffered stabbing injuries. A 35-year-old man was injured while tackling the attacker, police said.

Police identified the attacker as a 26-year-old man born in the United Arab Emirates, but his citizenship was unclear.
