The terrifying incident unfolded on platforms 13/14 at Hamburg Central Station, according to German outlet BILD.
Initial reports suggested eight people had been hurt, but authorities later clarified the toll: three victims are in critical condition, three are seriously injured, and six others suffered minor injuries.
Some of the injured are being treated on trains, BILD reports.
Federal police confirmed a woman has been arrested in connection with the rampage.
But the motive behind the attack is still unknown as cops continue their investigation.
“There is currently a major police operation in #Hamburg on #Hauptbahnhof!” Hamburg police said in a post on X.
“We are investigating the background and will provide further information here shortly.”
Dozens of police officers and first responders can be seen securing the scene outside Hamburg Central Station.
One victim of the Hamburg train station knife attack could also be seen being rushed in a stretcher by paramedics.
A Red Cross crisis response team is now on the scene to support the victims’ families.
It comes after two people were killed and two police officers wounded in a brutal knife attack in the Netherlands.
Emergency crews, including ambulances and trauma teams, raced to a property in Hoofddorp, near Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport, on Wednesday morning.
One police vehicle at the scene was left spattered with blood.
Both victims were inside the house after initial reports of a “fight”.
Police confirmed two officers were injured but there was no immediate confirmation about the extent of their injuries.
Locals say the house, located on Fanny Blankers-Koenlaan, is known for drug and alcohol-related disturbances.

Meanwhile, police were urgently called to Majorca’s Palma Airport on Tuesday morning after reports of a man being stabbed in the neck in the arrivals area.
Detectives said the victim was a young Argentinian who suffered a wound a few centimetres from the artery which required several stitches.
It has since emerged that the suspect is a homeless man thought to sleep at the popular holiday airport.
Police said he had no fixed home after his arrest.
