Narrative:

During flight we encountered severe wake turbulence from an aircraft flying in front of us. At the time of the event the seatbelt sign was off; the other flight attendant and I were seated in the aft galley; one passenger was in the aft lav; and two passengers were standing in the first class cabin. Neither myself or the other flight attendant were injured; and all passengers reported to us that were also uninjured. We followed procedure as normal during descent and landing as no one was injured. Upon landing the ca called the fas on the phone to inform us why we were greeted by fire trucks; ambulance; and squad cars. He then informed the passengers of the situation. When we opened the boarding door at the gate a police officer came on board to speak with the ca. Maintenance was called and we switched gates and took another aircraft for our final flight.
