The station in downtown Hamburg, Germany's second-biggest city, is a major hub for local, regional and long-distance trains. Police cordoned off part of the complex, AP reported.
In recent months, Germany has been rocked by a series of violent attacks, including stabbing incidents.
On Sunday, four people were injured in a stabbing at a bar in the city of Bielefeld.
The investigation into the attack had been handed over to federal prosecutors after the suspect in the attack told the police officers who arrested him that he had jihadist beliefs.
