An unknown man attacked two people on Hamburg's S-Bahn. This was a queer-hostile attack. Police have confirmed this.
The attacker spoke German with a Russian accent. He attacked two people on the train. One victim is a trans person.
Police describe the attack as a hate crime. Queer-hostile violence is a serious problem in Germany. It also occurs in major cities like Hamburg.
Police ask anyone who witnessed something to contact them. Witnesses can provide information about the perpetrator. This is important for the investigation.
LGBTQ+ rights organizations have expressed concern. They say trans people are increasingly targets of violence. This feeling of insecurity is widespread in the community.
