Overview

  • The incident occurred Monday around 22:30 on platform 29 as a Regionalbahn to Mittenwald was departing.
  • The 31-year-old threw two full beer bottles, one striking a door window and leaving an approximately one‑meter crack while the train attendant behind it was uninjured.
  • The attendant activated the emergency brake, the train stopped, and the damaged vehicle was taken out of service and replaced.
  • Federal police located the suspect shortly afterward on Arnulfstraße and took him into custody following a breath‑alcohol reading of 0.57 per mille.
  • Investigations cover dangerous interference with rail traffic, attempted dangerous bodily harm, and communal property damage, with a magistrate appearance planned after consultation with the Munich I prosecutor’s office.
