Multiple people have been wounded — some of them seriously — in a knife attack on a train station in Frankfurt.

The attack occurred around 9am in the central German city before police overpowered and arrested the attacker.

Three people were seriously injured in the attack, local newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine reported, though police added no injuries were life-threatening. Witnesses told the newspaper that the man seemed to be under the influence of drugs and appeared to chose his victims at random.

A police statement posted on Twitter said: ‘Frankfurt train district: One person was reported who is alleged to have injured several other people. They were arrested.

The exact circumstances of the crime are currently the subject of the investigation. There is no longer any danger. More information will follow.

The burnt bodies of 19 people have been found close to the Mexican border with the US, according to officials from Tamaulipas state.

Police found two burnt-out vehicles on Saturday and initial findings indicate the people were shot and then set alight. Violent drug gangs operate in the area, where migrants also try to cross the border into Texas.

An official said the victims may be undocumented migrants, reports AFP.

The north-eastern state of Tamaulipas is known for violent killings and disappearances, often linked to powerful drug cartels who battle for territory. The Mexican government is fighting what it calls a war on drugs, and its security forces have previously been accused of detaining suspects who later go missing.

A Twitter account linked to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has posted what appears to be a call for an attack on Donald Trump in revenge for last year’s killing of its top military commander, Gen Qasem Soleimani.

The post features a depiction of a man resembling the former US president playing golf in the shadow of a warplane or large drone. «Vengeance is inevitable,» it reads.

The social media giant has now suspended the account — @khamenei_site.

Twitter closed President Trump’s hugely influential account earlier this month after he published posts that were widely considered to have encouraged violence that gripped the US Capitol.
