The hostage was also slightly injured and treated on the scene. BERLIN—German police stormed a pharmacy in Cologne's main train station Monday, freeing a woman who had been held hostage by a man for two hours, officials said. Around the time of the incident, a teenage girl was taken from the train station to the hospital with injuries, police spokesman Christoph Schulte said. He wouldn't confirm local media reports that the hostage-taker had first attacked the girl before taking the other woman hostage. Before police stormed the pharmacy, the entire train station, one of the biggest in Germany, was evacuated and all train traffic was stopped, leading to delays and cancellations across western Germany.
