38-year-old arrested after machete threats in Bensheim

A 38-year-old man reportedly had a machete on a waiting train at Bensheim station on Sunday afternoon and verbally threatened the train driver. The driver took the machete from him, after which the man left the train. Nearly an hour later, a woman reported that a man had threatened her with a machete and struck her near Lake Erlache. Following a search involving numerous officers and a police helicopter, the 38-year-old was arrested. Investigators are still examining whether the machete was actually a knife, and the weapon has not yet been recovered.
