International news agencies reported that a 31-year-old British woman died after being stabbed at Rosenheim train station in Bavaria, southern Germany, in the early hours of Sunday, 30 Aug 2026. She was taken to hospital but later died.
According to a police statement, officers arrested a 27-year-old German man at the scene immediately after the incident. The investigation into the cause and motive is ongoing.
Police have requested cooperation from anyone who may have witnessed "an argument or physical assault" at the train station late Saturday night or early Sunday morning to come forward and provide information.
