Aachen - On Wednesday evening, the federal police had to deal with a dubious case at Erkelenz train station.
The Federal Police were informed by the emergency control center of Deutsche Bahn AG that an unknown person had tried several times to climb onto the train. The unknown person was first noticed as a passenger without a ticket. The train attendant then excluded him from the further journey.
To emphasize his protest about this measure, he climbed onto the locomotive, but it had already set off. The train driver then initiated rapid braking.
The person got off the train and the engineer wanted to continue his journey. However, the man didn't realize that he wasn't allowed to ride. He tried again to get on the approaching train. After braking again, the driver tried to stop the person. He fled across the tracks in an unknown direction. A short-range search carried out produced no findings.
The federal police warn urgently against such “actions”.
The current in the overhead line is 15,000 volts. You are putting your life at great risk if you climb onto trains or wagons. The man could also have fallen under the train through his climbing actions. The federal police are now investigating the dangerous interference with rail traffic and disruption to public services.
