On Tuesday ( October 12), a passenger at Malsch station informed the police about a male person who had walked on the track area several times and put himself in danger.
Witnesses revealed that the man also tried to encourage two children to place stones on the tracks.
Based on a description of the man, the officers were quickly able to identify the 35-year-old suspect. Witness statements confirmed that the man had been in the track area before and that several trains had already had to blow the warning signal.
Questioning of another witness revealed that the 35-year-old Iranian national was placing stones on the tracks in the station. He encouraged two children who were also at the station to do the same.
Placing stones on railway tracks is not a trivial offence. If a train runs over the stones, splinters can hit bystanders and seriously injure them. In the worst case, this can even cause train derailments.
The 35-year-old was informed of his offence on the spot. He will now be charged with dangerous interference with railway traffic.
The children behaved correctly, kept their distance from the tracks and did not engage in these dangerous actions.
This is NOT unbelievable
