Violence at train stations: attackers beat train drivers and threaten young people

On the first Christmas holiday, there were several incidents at the train station in Tutzing and at the Starnberg wing station in Munich, which were characterized by violence. According to a report by Merkur , a 35-year-old engine leader of a regional train was injured after two men from Tutzing and A 21-year-old from Weilheim, picked up when entering the train. The driver asked the men to behave calmly, which led to the 21-year-old hit him in the face. Travelers held the attackers until the police arrived.

In the incident, the police secured a blunt carvangeli with a blade length of about 8.5 cm, which belonged to the 21-year-old. The driver was finally taken to the hospital, but only suffered minor injuries. Both attackers who have already had the police for theft are now facing criminal charges for threats and assault. The 18-year-old also suffered a laceration while the 21-year-old was alcoholic (0.82 per thousand).

In a second incident at the Starnberg wing station, a 56-year-old man threatened a 17-year-old in an S-Bahn and claimed to have a firearm. Like SWP , the man screamed in a matter of course and asked the pupil to leave the train. The 17-year-old and a witness informed the driver, whereupon twelve officials from the federal police quickly arrived and overwhelmed the man. No weapon has been found in him, but the man has already appeared police for violent offenses, which is why he was investigated for threats.

These incidents joined a series of violent acts at the Bavarian train stations during the Christmas holidays. The federal police found an increase in acts of violence, which were also characterized by a more intensive willingness to violate the perpetrators. In addition to the incidents in Tutzing and at the Starnberg wing station, further attacks on people on the train as well as for emergency services and train employees were recorded on the first Christmas holiday. A local incident in which a train driver was injured, as well as attacks on rescue workers at Munich Central Station testify to the worrying situation in public transport.
