Law enforcement agencies in Germany are seeking individuals who may have crucial information.
On February 23, a disturbing incident occurred on the RE 32 train from Bayreuth to Nuremberg. At around 10:35 AM, a 62-year-old train attendant was injured by a passenger. The incident took place at Hersbruck station.
The Federal Police Inspection Nuremberg, a part of the Bundespolizeidirektion Munich, is responsible for the investigation and ensuring police safety in this case. Their jurisdiction covers approximately 23% of Bavaria's area, including areas such as Augsburg, Ingolstadt, Ansbach, Middle Franconia, North Swabia, northern Upper Bavaria, and the district of Forchheim. They oversee 309 train stations and halts, as well as 1823 kilometers of tracks.
The man involved in the incident is a 34-year-old German national. He is described as approximately 185-188 cm tall, heavyset, wearing white pants with colorful circles, a black jacket, a drawn-on black wavy beard, and black, chin-length hair (likely a wig). He was carrying a large black backpack with gray straps.
The train attendant suffered a scrape on her eyebrow and pain in her left eye, temple, and cheekbone after the man struck her smartphone against her head. Other passengers intervened to prevent further violence, and the man eventually left the train at Hersbruck station after calming down.
