The stabbing took place in front of the departures terminal, German magazine Focus has reported. The motive for the attack remains unclear. One injured person has been taken to hospital. The extent of those injuries is still not known.

A spokeswoman for the federal police said the wanted man is being searched for jointly by federal and state police.

She added security camera footage showed two men walking towards an airport car park at 12.16pm local time, at which point the attack took place.

Andre Hartwich, spokesman for the Düsseldorf police, said the attack took place at a parking ticket machine in one of the airport’s car parks.

He added there was likely a dispute over territorial claims among homeless people.

Mr  Hartwich said: “The names of both people are known to us.”

The spokesman added neither flight safety nor passengers at at risk.
