Randals at the main train station: Herner demolates federal police vehicles!

In the night of Sunday, October 13, 2024, the Recklinghausen main train station turned into a scenery of destruction when a 45-year-old man from Herne drove his mischief. According to a statement by the federal police, three company vehicles were damaged, which required the use of state officials.

At around 4:20 a.m., the federal police officers who were in the office at the main train station noticed dull bangs. When they looked out of the window, they saw the man who was struggling with one of the vehicles on the outside mirror. Camouflage in the dark - the Polish citizen tried to flee immediately after his act. The cover of the left exterior mirror flops on the sidewalk before ran away towards the train station.

The emergency services reacted quickly and placed the aggressive man at the taxi rank. He vehemently defended himself against the speech of the officials. At first he denied all the deeds. With the claim that the police could not prove anything to him, he tried to save himself from the situation. But the reality looked very different.

The identity of the man was quickly clarified in the premises of the federal police. The investigation showed that the Bochum public prosecutor's office was already searching for property damage. One more reason for the civil servants to take the incident seriously and to document the destruction.

The destruction in detail

Overall, the rear windows of three company vehicles were destroyed, in addition to a damaged left exterior mirror. In order to clearly prove the fact, the officials had taken photos of the damage. But that was not all: they also found two stones in two of the vehicles, which served as possible throwing floors and further burdened the act.

After completing the first investigations, the 45-year-old was proven to be dismissed for the main train station. The man must now be responsible for the destruction of important work equipment and property damage to the court. The federal police classified this incident as a serious attack on their means of resources because such acts endanger everyday police life and the security of the officials.

The incident makes it clear how quickly conflicts can come and raises the question of how aggressive some people can become in dealing with emergency services.
