Huge excitement at the Oberhausen Central Station: Bomb alarm turns out to be a false alarm

Hauptbahnhof Oberhausen, Deutschland - An alarm of the extra class shook the main train station in Oberhausen on Monday morning (October 28th)! Around 9:45 a.m., the federal police locked the entire forecourt to Poststrasse. The main hall, in which there are numerous shops, also had to be cleared. The reason for these drastic measures? A suspicious bag that was discovered under a police car!

The police were immediately alert, since it could possibly be a bomb. For hours it remained unclear what was in the ominous bag. While the federal police requested defuser, bus traffic at Willy-Brandt-Platz had to be stopped for security reasons, fortunately the train traffic of Deutsche Bahn continued.

Shock moment and relaxation

For travelers and employees in the main train station, the closure meant massive detours. Taxi drivers had to clear the forecourt and parked in front of the main post in front of the warehouse. But after hours of tension, the redeeming message finally came! Explosives experts from the federal police opened the bag with an explosive robot and found only clothing and personal items.

The danger was banned at 12.30 p.m. and the closure was lifted. However, anyone who has parked the bag under the police car remains a mystery. The police have initiated investigations and wants to evaluate video material to find out the secret!
