Overview
- An S-Bahn driver spotted a man on the tracks at Berliner Tor and alerted federal police, who secured the area and halted service.
- Officers temporarily switched off the electrical power and closed the affected line to remove the person from the track area.
- A breath-alcohol test recorded a reading of 2.27‰, and police say the 24-year-old was so intoxicated he could barely speak.
- The man was held in custody to sober up, given a prevention talk, later released, and authorities opened a Strafverfahren (criminal case).
- Berliner Tor is a busy interchange where track intrusions pose acute safety risks and typically cause short service disruptions while police follow standard railway-protection protocols.
