Last Saturday (July 26, 9:15 p.m.), a 38-year-old man insulted a 19-year-old female passenger on a train journey from Frankfurt am Main to Berlin. Both individuals were traveling independently on the ICE 274 train.
During the journey, the Afghan man allegedly startet to insult the 19-year-old woman.
The young German woman felt insulted and humiliated by his comments about her lack of a headscarf and her supposed Christian religion. She left her seat and moved to another carriage. However, the 38-year-old man followed the woman and continued his tirade of insults.
A witness informed the police and the train attendant.
The train attendant then placed the man in an empty compartment, where he remained until the train arrived at Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe station.
A patrol from the Kassel Federal Police Inspectorate took the 38-year-old to the police station. He was able to leave after all police measures had been completed.
The Kassel Federal Police Inspectorate has launched an investigation and initiated criminal proceedings for insulting behaviour.
