Federal law enforcement apprehends individual for boarding train without valid ticket
A 26-year-old man found himself in hot water after an incident on a train at Frankfurt Airport's long-distance train station on the night of 25th to 26th August. The man, whose identity and current condition remain undisclosed, locked himself in the onboard toilet.
Deutsche Bahn AG employees alerted the federal police about the man, who was travelling in first class without a valid ticket. The federal police had to remove him from the train by force, an action that did not go uncontested. The man blocked the door of the toilet before the police arrived and bit a police officer on the forearm during the removal, causing a superficial injury. The officer, however, remains fit for duty.
The investigation into this incident includes charges for bodily harm, fraud, and obtaining services by deception. However, the available information does not clearly link the man to these charges, as no specific details about the fraudulent activities have been provided. It is also unclear if the man has hired a lawyer to represent him in this case.
The information was transmitted via news aktuell by the Federal Police Directorate Airport Frankfurt am Main.
