A 17-year-old German national found themselves in hot water on July 13, 2025, when they were apprehended by the Federal Police at Chemnitz Central Station. The incident, which took place at around 20:50, made headlines after it was reported that the individual was in possession of a Katana, a Japanese long sword.
According to news aktuell, the teen was unlawfully present in the non-public railway area and was found with the weapon in their possession. This act is not only a breach of railway regulations but also illegal, as it is not permitted for persons under 18 years of age to possess a Katana.
The Federal Police Inspectorate Chemnitz confirmed the apprehension, stating that the 17-year-old received citations for carrying a Katana, trespassing on railway premises, and being unlawfully present in the non-public railway area. The Katana was confiscated by the Federal Police.
Carrying a Katana in public is prohibited, and the incident serves as a reminder of the strict laws governing the possession and carry of such weapons. The Federal Police Inspectorate Chemnitz can be contacted at 0371 4615 108 or 105 for more information. Their email address is [email protected].
Despite extensive searches, the identity of the officer who arrested the teen could not be determined, as the search results do not provide the name of the head of the Federal Police Inspection Chemnitz who was involved in the arrest.
This incident highlights the importance of adhering to the law and the consequences that can arise from breaking it. The Federal Police Inspectorate Chemnitz continues to work diligently to maintain law and order in the city of Chemnitz.
