Deutsche Bahn in NRW: man behaves impudently in RE 5 – then the situation escalates

Who more often with the Deutsche Bahn in North Rhine-Westphalia who is on the move knows that on almost every train journey, especially in the evening hours, there is always that one troublemaker who spoils the journey for all the other passengers.

So also in a regional train in Cologne (NRW). After what a passenger before the eyes of the staff of the German train allowed, even the federal police had to intervene.

Deutsche Bahn in NRW: 24-year-old stands out in the RE5

For many train passengers, the ban on smoking on the train is so self-evident that it is hard to believe that this regulation has only officially existed since 2007.

A 24-year-old apparently didn’t care much about the ban on Saturday evening (September 17) on his train journey between Leverkusen and Cologne.

More about Deutsche Bahn:

• Deutsche Bahn AG was founded in 1994.
• It arose from a merger of the Deutsche Bundesbahn and the Deutsche Reichsbahn from the former GDR.
• The company has over 320,000 employees.
• DB CEO is Richard Lutz

Other passengers in the RE5 quickly became aware of the violation and asked the young man to stop smoking.

This was unreasonable and attacked another traveler with blows to the head and neck. Another eyewitness was injured while trying to settle the dispute.

Passenger receives several ads

In the meantime, the video footage should provide more clues. The young man now has to answer for dangerous bodily harm and threats as well as for insulting the emergency services. (neb)
