On January 4, 2025, an incident occurred at the S-Bahn stop in Munich in which a four-year-old boy from Germering slipped into the track.

An unknown man reacted quickly and operated the emergency brake of the S-Bahn. The grandfather pulled the boy back onto the platform, while bystanders traveling police and emergency services alerted. The ambulance service found that the boy had only suffered a slight shock and no further injuries were presented, so that it was not necessary to take the hospital.
