Man attacks train passengers with an ax-like object - young people seriously injured

A 37-year-old man threatened passengers on a regional train from Cottbus to Frankfurt/Oder on Friday afternoon and injured a young person with an ax-like object. This was reported by a spokesman for the South Police Department based on initial findings. The man, who is a Polish citizen, got on at a train stop in Guben (Spree-Neisse district).

A 17-year-old on the train was probably seriously injured by the man. The teenager was taken to the hospital. According to the first findings, there is no danger to life, said the spokesman. So far, the police have not been able to provide any further information about the background and the course of the crime.

The police were informed of the incident around 1:20 p.m. The emergency services then found an ax-like object on the suspected 37-year-old in Guben. The spokesman was initially unable to say what exactly it was.

The man is said to have walked through several wagons of the regional train. According to current knowledge, alcohol or drugs were not involved in the suspect. The police spokesman could not provide any information on the motive. The arrested man first came to a police inspection. The investigators secured clues in the afternoon and interviewed witnesses.
