When did these types of attacks suddenly become commonplace?
Our species is regressing.
There have always been people with mental disorders but these attacks are far more frequent. If it happened even once 50 years ago it would have lived in lore for decades, now it's just another day.
It would be interesting to understand why the impulses are so different today.

Eighteen people were injured in a knife attack at the main railway station in the German city of Hamburg on Friday evening, police said.
Hamburg police said on Saturday that four of the victims who had sustained life-threatening injuries were in a stable condition.
Officers arrested a 39-year-old German woman at the scene of the attack, which took place at about 18:00 local time (16:00 GMT) on Friday.
Police said there was "very concrete evidence" of mental illness in the suspect, and no evidence the attack was politically motivated.
The woman remains in police custody and is scheduled to appear in court on Saturday.
